Anatolian rugs, also known as Turkish carpets, are knotted, pile-woven textiles produced in Asia Minor (generally the area once considered the Ottoman Empire) for everything from home use to religious purposes. These rugs are distinguished by the use of symmetrical "Ghiordes" knots and traditional materials like hand-spun wool, cotton, and natural dyes. The diverse designs reflect a complex history of Central Asian migration, Byzantine influence, and the arrival of Islamic art, creating patterns unique to the region's cultural pluralism. Historically prized in Europe, these carpets were frequently featured in Renaissance paintings as symbols of prestige and luxury during the height of Ottoman trade. While the earliest surviving examples date to the 13th century, the craft continues to be celebrated today through both ornate silk-piled rugs and flat-woven styles like kilims.
