Central anatolia, Cappadocia (Mucur )
Value as a Work of Art: a rug hung on the wall transcends its original meaning with its fine craftsmanship, colors, and patterns, allowing it to be seen as a work of art in its own right. This allows the rug's details to become more prominent and displayed like a painting.
Displaying Cultural Status and Wealth: Throughout history, hand-woven rugs, in particular, have been considered valuable items that demonstrate a family's wealth and social status. Hanging a rug on the wall has been a way to protect and display these valuable items.
Acoustics and Insulation: When used on walls, rugs improve the room's acoustics by providing sound insulation. They also help maintain room temperature.
Hanging rugs from a region rich in cultural heritage like Cappadocia is both a decorative choice and a beautiful way to reflect the rug's cultural value and history. This means not only displaying an item but also telling a story.
