Those twin pots are my kind of thing. They’re gorgeous!
I would ask about the price and quality of the carpets as compared with Turkish ones but you will be a little biased (understandably 🙂 )
April 12, 2014 at 6:59 am
Thanks jo,Turkish carpets are very famous for design and quality but Indian carpets are also best you can’t be compare both because both have different specialty. Indian carpets are available in many range,cost totally depends on quality and size,generally you can get a good carpets in 5000 INR. Cost vary with design ,size and quality.
