Europe and the knotted Carpet | Museum für Islamische Kunst

The interwoven history between Europe, the Near and Middle East can be traced through magnificent carpets. Since the 13th century, knotted carpets have been imported into Europe. Here they were collected in church treasures, at courts and later by rich citizens to show wealth, sophistication and the love of art of their owners.
