Yaqcedebir

Yagcibedir carpets are a type of carpet knotted in Western Anatolia, more specifically in the village of Balikesir, a town in the Marmara region of Turkey. It is believed that they were first made by former nomadic tribes called Yayci Yoruks who lived around the villages of Sindirgi and Bigadic. Lamb's wool is used in their manufacture, and the colors red, indigo blue and white are common in the designs, but shades of cream, red and brown are also found in some rugs. Yagcibedir rugs are famous for their creative patterns. Although the patterns in these rugs are usually very simple, each rug is meant to tell a story with these simple patterns and colors. Patterns in Yagcibedir rugs include sun, eagles, trees, cherries, tulips, stars and apples. Each pattern in these rugs has a specific meaning related to the centuries of history and fascinating culture of Turkey. A beautiful example in radiating colors.
