I don't understand why western people ready to pay antique carpets too much . Most of the antique carpets on the market (i mean in Turkey) have average or bad craftmanship and didn't protected well. Most of them didn't care how many knits per square cm , made by wool or silk , natural die used etc.

I rather prefer to buy new very well crafted wool or silk carpets (natural dies used) and keep them .
