How do I identify a Turkish rug?

How do I identify a Turkish rug?
To identify a Turkish rug, turn it over. The reverse side will show the same pattern as the front if the floor covering is an authentic hand-knotted Turkish rug. You'll need to use an authoritative reference to determine if the pattern on the pile is indicative of traditional Turkish or Persian designs.
