History Stretching from the Taurus Mountains to Your Home: Döşemealtı Carpet Collection

More than just a floor covering, each stitch of these rugs holds a story, a prayer, or a wish; they are among the finest examples of Turkish handicrafts.

Characteristic Features of Döşemealtı Carpet

To tell if a carpet is from Döşemealtı, simply look at its texture and colors.

Reverse Turkish Knot:These carpets are woven using the "Gordes" (Turkish Knot) technique, considered the strongest knotting technique in the world. However, unique to Döşemealtı, the loops are reversed, ensuring that the pattern on the back of the carpet is just as clear as on the front.
100% Wool and Natural Dyes:Its raw material is entirely sheep's wool. Its colors are derived from plants in nature (root dyes). Thanks to this, the colors do not fade over time; on the contrary, they mature and acquire a "pastel" beauty.
Color Palette:The background color is usually flag red (burgundy) or navy blue. Green, white, and black are frequently used in the patterns.

The Language of Halelli and Collective Patterns

Döşemealtı carpets speak through their motifs.

Halelli Motif:It is its most famous design. It is a geometric pattern believed to protect against the evil eye.
Toplu, Kocasulu and Akrepli:Other iconic motifs symbolize the Yoruk people's struggle with nature, strength, and abundance. The scorpion motif reflects their desire for protection from poisonous animals in their nomadic lifestyle.

Can Döşemealtı carpets be washed in a washing machine?

Absolutely not. Because it's 100% wool and hand-woven, it will be damaged in a machine and the colors may bleed. It should only be cleaned by professional carpet cleaners using methods specifically designed for hand-woven carpets.

How can you tell if a carpet is authentic?

The original Döşemealtı rug clearly shows its pattern even when viewed from the reverse side (reverse loop technique). Furthermore, the tightness of the edge weaves, the naturalness of the wool, and especially the accurate weaving of regional patterns like "Halelli" are proof of its authenticity.

Can it be used in the summer?

Wool is a natural insulator, keeping you warm in winter and wicking away moisture in summer, preventing sweating. It is suitable for use in all four seasons.
