Unveil the mesmerizing "Carpet Field" in Antalya, Turkey, where summer transforms wheat fields into a vibrant tapestry of handmade carpets.
As the sun blazes, hundreds of acres are adorned with carpets woven with intricate patterns and bold hues. These works of art are not mere decorations but symbols of heritage and skilled craftsmanship.
For days, the carpets bask under the sun's embrace, undergoing a remarkable metamorphosis. Harmful bacteria and insects vanish, while the colors subtly shift, blossoming into soft, pastel tones that shimmer like a desert sunrise.
Panja is a weaving technique from Haryana in India. It is mostly used for weaving light rugs called dhurries. It gets its name from a claw-like tool called panja which is used to beat the weft threads into the warp to adjust them there. Panja rugs are famous for their lightness and portability. They are made from cotton or wool or jute. The designs are usually geometric. In the past, when these rugs adorned the palaces of Rajasthan the designs were more elaborate and resembled Persian rugs, however, over time as demands increased and rugs became common for household use, the designs simplified into the distinct geometric form they are recognised for today.

XVIIth-XIXth Century rugs from the Manufactures of la Savonnerie and Aubusson (and Axminster!)
Part II
A retexture by La Comtesse Zouboff — Original Mesh by @thejim07
These rugs were created by either La Savonnerie or Aubusson manufactures, two prominent and luxurious rugs, upholstery and tapestry manufactures stablished in france during the Ancien Régime.
The set contains 18 swatches in many styles, ranging from Louis XIV to Edwardian, in 2 sizes (5x7 and 4x6) and of course none of then are castable.
This time, I added a small gift to make up for the delay, it's a rug woven by Axminster for the Saloon at Saltram House in Plymouth, England! (1st picture, first rug from left to right)
Found under Decor > Rugs for 3.200§ (4x6) and 4.360§ (5x7)
Retextured from "rectangular classic rugs - 5 sizes - 18 variations" found here
Does anyone else just lay down on a carpet for a while and feel its textures all over your body? I fuckin love this carpet, it has big bumps but each stripe is so smooth so I can move my arm across it and it feels super nice.
