Turkish Kilim Authentic Woven Carpet Bookmarks.

The Ottoman Empire, or Turkey, in present day, is known worldwide for being a center of world-class carpet making. It is also a richly historical area known for the ancient cities of the Early Church, Antioch, Ephesus, and Colossae, which the Apostle Paul visited on three different missionary journeys. Perihan Bookmarks takes inspiration from this rich historical and religious background.

The scenic and historic land of Turkey gave birth to the art of weaving rugs of great beauty thousands of years ago. By Biblical times and the travels that took the Apostle Paul through the ancient cities of Asia Minor, as Turkey was then known, the tradition of rug making among the nomadic Turkic peoples of central Asia was well established. In time, Turkey became famous for having mastered this highly valued art form.
