Maybe your comment has been written as a joke, but there are also Transylvanian rugs [1], which even though are not copies (but the originals themselves) the’ve “lived” their life long enough outside Anatolia in order to merit a new “name”.
> The name Transylvanian rug is used as a term of convenience to denote a cultural heritage of 15th–17th century Islamic rugs, mainly of Ottoman origin, which have been preserved in Transylvanian Protestant (Hungarian and Saxon) churches.[1][2] The corpus of Transylvanian rugs constitutes one of the largest collections of Ottoman Anatolian rugs outside the Islamic world.[3]
Strangely enough many of the people now living in Transylvania look at anything Turkish- or Anatolian-related with a clear air of superiority, presumably everything that matters comes from the West (if that’s from Germany that’s even better), is a very good thing that the Transylvanian Saxons from the 1500s or the 1600s were more culturally open-minded.
