KONYA LADIK
Originating from the Ladik region they
are known for their wide use of Tulips
both as the center them and along the
border edges. They use vibrant
shades of blues, yellows, and reds in
all of their antique rugs.
The placement of the tulip-filled niche
above the mihrab (rather than below) and
the use of the yellow ground broken
hooked vine, serrated leaf and angular
rosette border in this rug denote an early
example of Ladik workmanship. It is
acknowledged that all of the Ladik rugs with
this border were woven in the small village
of Innice outside of Ladik.
