@article{2018,title={KIRŞEHİR AND MUCUR CARPETS FOUND IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION},abstractNode={It is possible to reach many samples of local and provincial carpets in museums and private collections, which are an essential part of our traditional culture. There are also various publications on these fine samples. But since the number of samples are few, the conclusions to be drawn from these studies are no doubt somewhat limited. One way to go around this limitation is to reach to the carpet collections of those traders, who deal in the old and antique carpet trade and study those samples in detail. Mr. Orhan Özer, the owner of ‘Özer Halı Kilimcilik’ (Özer Carpet and Kilim Co.) based in Turgutlu province of Manisa city has one of the best and most comprehensive Turkish provincial carpet collections in the country. The Kirsehir and Mucur carpets constitutes one of the most important sections of this wide collection. Our main purpose in this study is to document new and unseen samples of these rarerly found Kirsehir and Mucur carpets, in order to provide a field of documentation and analysis for future researchers. Our study has been conducted with a literature research, analysis and documentation-catalogueing of the Kirsehir and Mucur carpet samples in the collection itself.},author={Bahadır ÖZTÜRK-- Gonca KARAVAR},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
