One of the weavings from a trip to Turkey this June when i was glad to to find interesting antique Anatolian kilims, trappings, some Caucasian pieces and a few special rugs.

As a footnote to my recent trip, due to political problems, the conflicts in Syria and Kurdish eastern Turkey and recent bombings in Istanbul and Ankara, it was extremely quiet with few tourists on the ground, other than Turkish people enjoying weekends away from the cities. It is a pity so many people are put off visiting this vast and fascinating country. All those who rely on tourism directly or indirectly, a very important part of the national economy, are suffering greatly. Many hotels have closed, small traders face severe financial hardship and the knock-on effect of the downturn in visitor numbers will surely be felt for several years to come.
