Smyrna
Smyrna rugs are carpets associated with the historic city of Smyrna (modern Izmir) in western Turkey, which was an important export center for oriental rugs. Many rugs labeled as Smyrna were produced in surrounding regions and shipped through the port, reflecting a variety of Anatolian styles. The term Smyrna often refers to trade classification rather than a specific weaving origin. The ancient city of Smyrna is known today as Izmir, the third largest city in Turkey. Smyrna
