How Montenegro’s Ottoman Carpets Became an Icon

[@ConstanceSlanina]

Am very impressed. Am originally from Eastern Europe and the carpet weaving craft has been dying out in the last 25 years. Very good job Montenegro!👏

Very lovely handcrafted carpets. Gorgeous colours.

It's hard to imagine that before Ottomans no one knew how to make a woolen rug.

Nobody is saying that, are they? Carpets are integral to Muslims because they are used during prayers. Hygiene and cleanliness, taking your shoes off indoors is beyond important; all this means carpets were always used and techniques and designs developed. You can see this all over the Muslim world.

I have four made by my aunt in the 70s. My most prized possesions. They look so good in a modern interior too. Guests (westerners) are always impressed by them.
