Pergamum Carpet

Since the 11th century, the city of Pergamum, now Bergama, Turkey, has been renowned for its traditional carpet weaving techniques. These carpets are characterized by vibrant hues, geometric patterns, and a lustrous texture achieved through traditional color choices. Thanks to the resurgence of madder root as a natural dye in the late 1970s, hand-knotted rugs have seen a revival in the use of vegetable dyes. This particular carpet is a prime example of this process. All our carpets and kilims are one-of-a-kind, hand-knotted or hand-woven with 100% hand spun wool pile.  Color variation is called "Abrash" which is due to none-bleached wool's absorption of the dyes used or the carpet or kilim maybe woven with 2 different batches of dyed wool, which was available at the time. If you like uniformity-a soulless item-these are not for you.  These are the reminiscent of a disappearing art.
