Malatya is one of the largest cities of central-eastern Anatolia, between the steppes of Central Anatolia and the rugged terrain of Eastern Anatolia. This region is renowned for its amazing apricot orchards, some of the best organic apricots come out of this region. Rugs have been produced in this area for 100's of years although much less so in recent times.

As these pretty rugs are small they can be used in many places around the home; by the fire, in doorways, small rooms or something luxurious to step out of bed onto!  All of our Small Turkish rugs are Village made and have lovely soft wool pile and beautiful colour combinations.
