Kosovo Mosque Carpet
Kosovo is a country located in the southeast of the Balkans. The art of weaving mosque carpets is quite common in Kosovo and is one of the traditional handicrafts. Mosque carpets produced in Kosovo are made in a style similar to carpets produced in Central Asia and the Caucasus. Mosque carpets in Kosovo are usually made of woolen threads and can be in vibrant colours. Carpets are usually decorated with geometric patterns and figures. Traditional Kosovo rugs are often referred to as "Kacanik" and "Kosovo" styles. Carpets in these styles include dark geometric shapes, flowers and elements of symmetry. In addition, the frames on the edges of the carpets are often decorated with floral motifs. Mosque carpets are increasingly in demand in Kosovo due to the increasing number of mosques in the region and increasing tourist interest. Since Kosovo carpets are made using quality materials and traditional techniques, they are also known for their longevity and durability.
