Named after the illustrious region of Bergama, nestled in the heart of Izmir, Turkey, this hand-knotted treasure bears the weight of centuries past. In the annals of antiquity, long before the Hellenes graced these lands, the Pelasgians and Luwian people roamed these ancient paths. Pergamon, or "Parg-a-uma" in the ancient tongue, stood as a bastion of civilization, a castle of the people, guarding the legacy of its forebears.

Crafted circa the 1960s, every fiber of this rug bears witness to the skilled hands and ancient techniques passed down through generations. Woven with the finest wool, its resplendent medallion design, a symphony of oriental motifs and floral intricacies, dances upon a canvas of crimson and royal blue, punctuated by accents of creamy ivory and delicate salmon.

Measuring a perfect 5x7, this masterpiece beckons to adorn any cherished space—whether gracing the floors of a cozy kitchen, adorning the sanctuary of a tranquil bedroom, or lending an air of sophistication to the grandeur of a living room or hallway. Its versatility knows no bounds, seamlessly blending into a myriad of design aesthetics—from the classic and traditional to the eclectic and modern, evoking a sense of timeless beauty that transcends fleeting trends.
