Turkish Artistic Traditions Featured in The Carpet Merchant

(To be updated as I find adequate, shareable resources)
Many of my resources are academic, accessed through my university. Unfortunately I can’t share them here, as this breaches the T&Cs a.k.a it would be pirating, despite these articles being my primary sources. Forgive me as I look for alternatives.
