Wandering through the narrow streets of Ürgüp, a gentle voice called out from an old stone mansion with small balconies: "My son, i have hand-woven carpets, are you interested?"
"Yes.
"We have a few old carpets left behind by my mother in the lower depot. If you're interested, I'll head down," she said, and came right along.
As i stepped through the doorway, amidst striped kilims awkwardly stacked against the wall, i caught sight of this magnificent piece. When i asked how much i owed, i suggested she call her daughter or son. They came down, offered a glass of cold ayran, and though Aunt Ayşe left the price entirely up to me, i paid an amount that brought a true smile to her face and left.
Now, it awaits a true collector who understands its deep value and can carry its story on to the next generation...
