Milas Carpets

Please look at the pictures belong then request the size and colors you would like to have…

Milas lies on the south-western coast of the Aegean Region. Since the 18th century, predominantly carpets with a “prayer rug” design and characteristic “gathered” mihrabs are woven here. Other types include the Ada (island) Milas rugs from the area of Karaova, with vertically twisted polygons in their fields, and the rare medallion Milas rug with a mostly yellow-gold medallion on a red background.

Their borders often show crystalline star shaped ornaments composed by arrow-like ornaments pointing towards the center. Similar designs are also found in Caucasian carpets. Commonly used colours include pale violet, warm yellow, and pale green. The field panel ground is often a brick red.
