NAR by Sevil Acar

Turkey

Turkey

“NAR” means pomegranate in English literature and the motif of pomegranate is an important ornamental element in Turkish culture. The pomegranate, sometimes used as an element of an architectural work or handcrafts like woven, ceramics, metal, etc., has various spiritual meanings such as talisman, protection, immortality, fertility and abundance. The motif of pomegranate, with its rich philosophy, was the triggering inspiration point of this design.
Nar motifi Türk kültüründe önemli bir yere sahip. Bazen mimari bir eserin (dinî bir bazen de el sanatlarının (dokuma, seramik,metal vs) süsleme unsurları arasında yer alan nar; tılsımlı, koruyucu,ölümsüzlük, doğurganlık, bolluk ve bereket gibi derin anlamlara sahip.

Nar motifinin sahip olduğu bu zengin felsefe bu tasarımda bana ilham kaynağı oldu.

Excellent Service and Products
I wanted to reserve a carpet as I was abroad when I made my choice and there was only 1 left. I was able to telephone and speak to a very helpful lady who arranged for the carpet to be delivered 2 days after my return 3 weeks later. A week later, I chose another one with a 10% further discount for buying again and that arrived promptly also after another discussion with another helpful lady. I now have 2 fabulous rugs at a very decent price. Yes, the 'Handloom Fringe' carpet is shedding where one sits but I well remember a fitted carpet shedding for 6 months prior to stopping. So I hope it will stop eventually. DPD deliver promptly.
