KULA

Although Kula has been producing fine rugs since the 17th century, its golden age arrived in the 18th century. Kula rugs always attracted general interest because of its floral and geometrical patterns and soft colors. There is extensive use of stylized flowers and medallions. Since Kula and Gordes rugs influence each other so much, it is difficult to differ them from each other.

Today Kula weavers use the designs of the other areas of Turkey.

Kula Praying Rugs

Kula Praying Rugs are easily recognized by their long, narrow geometrical niches. The field is spread with small stylized flowers which are gathered sometimes to form a tree of life. The tree of life is often flanked  two ribbon like columns.
