Rug weaving: development

As in India, a court factory was established near Constantinople where large handsome carpets were woven.

Their designs were strongly influenced by the Persian, and unlike any other Turkish rugs, they .were tied with the Sehna knot, so it is possible that Persian weavers were working there.

Their texture was very fine, with yellow silk or wool warps and red and green silk wefts. Their colors were bright—yellow, light blue, emerald green and crimson.
