TurkoTek History

April 24, 2013

 Benjamin Tholen has prepared an essay exploring certain aspects of human psychology as related to motifs on rugs.  Hehas kindly allowed us to present it for discussion as a Mini-Salon.  His title is Archetypical Symbols in Rugs and Flatweaves?

Part 3 - Rugs in Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century English Paintings, by Pierre Galafassi, has been added to our ongoing series, Rugs in Old Masters. The subject is exactly what the title says it is, and it's a great read. 

The TurkoTek Discussion Forums are open and have a number of active topics of interest to rug collectors. You are invited to open new topics any time. Our Portrait Gallery is a place where participants can come a little closer to meeting each other. We hope you will add your portrait to it.

If you have any questions or problems using our site, please feel free to contact us for help. Clicking your mouse on either of our names will make it easy to send a message.
