In 2010, I met a friend in Istanbul and we had a blast walking all over. We had to go to the Grand Bazaar, which, if you ever go to Istanbul, you must visit. I was told that there was a shop right at a specific entrance to the bazaar and he would give us great deals. He did!
This is one of the 2 rugs I bought from Mr. Pirlanta. This is a Kayseri, hand knotted, wool on cotton and it is about 50 years old. There is no sign of wear, which is a testament to the quality of rugs made 50 years ago. My father was born in Turkey so this rug has a special place in my heart.
