Gördes Carpet Weaving
Gördes, Manisa
The Gördes carpet-weaving tradition, continuing since the 17th century, which gave its name to the double knot in Anatolian carpets.
Its story
The symmetrical double knot used in Turkish carpets is known worldwide as the 'Gördes knot'. Carpet weaving spread in Gördes from the 17th century onward, and the district became one of the important carpet centers of western Anatolia. The names of the masters are not known; only the name of the place where a carpet was woven is known. Thanks to this knotting technique, even when the carpet's pile wears down, its foundation can be used for a long time like a kilim.
