This yastik surprised me when I felt it. It is more
solid then most really old yastik. Most have a floppy handle and this
one is firm. The reason can be seen below. This is a rather rare single
weft construction while almost all Turkish rugs have two shots of weft
between each row of knots this yastik has but one.
Bergama Area Yastik that I suspect is older than you
would think.
Waps: Two ply Ivory wool.
Wefts 1 shot of two ivory wool singles.
Knot: Symetrical, 6.5 by 10.5 knots to the inch, 68 kpsi.
Size 35 by 18
Thanks and best wishes,
