Traditional Kırşehir Carpets

The history of carpet weaving in Kırşehir goes back to the 17th and 18th centuries. During this time, carpets predominantly featured red, blue, brown, yellow, green, and white tones. Prayer rugs were among the most produced carpets.

In the past, looms called gömme ıstar, with one end suspended from the ceiling were used for weaving Kırşehir carpets. Today, most carpets are woven on modern looms. 

The pattern mainly seen in today’s Kırşehir carpets is called ‘model’ among the public. The model is woven by memory or by looking at other carpets. Wherever the motif is woven into the carpet, it is surrounded by a black border.
