Turkish Milas Rugs are some of the most popular rugs made in Turkey, and they are woven in the Milas area in Turkey's South West. The rugs often feature geometric patterns and pastel colours, but they can also feature a combination of bolder tones combined with pastel hues. This rug is a handknotted piece created by skilled weavers from sheep's wool. This makes it very durable and soft to the touch. The rug is in very good overall condition, with some repair work required to secure both fringe ends, some light staining, light wear and a small area of pile damage. The rug will be cleaned and repairs completed prior to dispatch.
This Turkish Milas Rug combines bold and subtle tones and would sit well in both traditional and contemporary settings. Living rooms, bedrooms and dining rooms are typical spaces for such a piece.
