It was woven by Kurdish tribes 110 -120 years ago in Antep Province in the Southeast Anatolia Region.It was woven with wool yarns on wool spun with Kirman.It was completely dyed with natural root dyes.While dyeing the yarns, plants such as walnut shell, onion peel, sumac, buckthorn herb were used.The main colour of the carpet is Turkish red.The colour tones of the 18 in section of the carpet are not the same.This is not a mistake or repair.This is called abrage. The dyed yarns of the weaver ran out 18 in before the carpet was finished, they dyed the yarns again and the colour tones did not match. This is proof that the carpet was woven under primitive conditions and without a commercial purpose. Antep Kurdish carpets are known all over the world for their fine weaving. Collectors and museums also have many carpet samples.
