About KULA RUGS( Reference: Brittanica)
Kula carpet, Kula also spelled Koula or Kulah, floor
covering handwoven in Kula, in the region of Aegean sea in western Turkey. Kula
rugs were produced throughout the 19th century and into the 20th and have been
favorites among collectors. Central motifs are sometimes highly elaborate. The
Early Kula rugs have strong reds and good blues; but the dyeing practices
rapidly became slack, so that in most later examples the red has been exchanged
for an assortment of muddy brown and yellow shades, often combined with a good
surviving blue. Early carpets are not as finely woven as Ghiordes carpets, and
late ones are quite loosely made. Additional types were produced, such as the
Kumurju Kulas, usually dark-field carpets that often reproduce the designs of
Transylvanian rugs, with prominent vases and yellow borders. Like other great
carpet-weaving centers in Turkey, Kula produced many crudely woven carpets for
the European market in the late 19th century.

What is Dark Side
and Light side of the rug ?
We take photos from both ends of the rug. Dark and light
side ! What we mean by this is that every hand knotted Oriental rug has a
"light" side and a "dark" side.The color entirely depends
on how you view the rugs’ nape. The shade intensity from one end of the rug may
be very different from what you see on the opposite end— this depends on
whether one looks directly into the nape or with the nape. Handmade rugs have a
consistency and a shine, which may affect the rug’s color. The colors of a rug
will appear either several shades lighter or darker depending on where the
viewer is standing in relation to the rug.
