Kis Ghiordes, Turkey. 1920's Ghiordes (modern-day Gördes), a town 180 km from Smyrna, was a major carpet production center during the Ottoman Empire and gave its name to the Turkish or symmetrical knot known as the Ghiordes knot. The Kis Ghiordes carpet presented here, dating to the late 19th century and in excellent condition, measures 2.20 x 1.34 meters with a knot density of around 120,000 knots per square meter, using 100% wool for the pile, weft, and warp. These “Kis-Ghiordes” or “bride’s carpets” were traditionally woven by young girls as part of their dowry before marriage.
