Rug Berganya 203x175cm . Bergama Carpet Rug
refers to handwoven Turkish carpets, made in the Bergama district in the Izmir Province of northwest Turkey. As a market place for the surrounding villages, the name of Bergama is used as a trade name to define the provenience. Bergama carpets are woven with symetrical knots. Warps and, wefts and pile are made of sheep wool. The knotting density of around 12 knots per cm² is rather coarse. They are typically three to four meters square in size. Bergama carpets often show nicely woven kilim ends, sometimes with an integrated pile-woven pattern.
