Story Behind the Art: Kula is a small town in western Turkey that has been producing handwoven rugs for centuries and these rugs have become so prized that the town's name is now used to describe the style itself. Kula rugs are known for their soft earthy tones often featuring intricate floral and geometric patterns arranged in neat borders around a central field. Traditionally made from wool and dyed using natural materials they have a slightly rustic aged quality that gives them a lot of charm and character. Because genuine antique Kula rugs are rare and have been collected by museums and connoisseurs for hundreds of years they're considered an important part of both Turkish craft history and the wider world of decorative art.
