About Us:
The village and area (Western Turkey) we grew up
in is famous for its carpets. Gordes, Milas,
Naturel, Yagcibedir, Usak, etc are all styles
that have been woven here for years and years.
Like many other people in the area, all my
family grew up with carpets. Carpet production
is a basic life style. Shepherds sell pure wool
at the village market and older ladies hand spin
the wool for long hours. Then my dad's friends
take the spun wool for dyeing with natural
fruits, vegetables, herbs, flowers and roots
that they've collected all year round. There is
a carpet loom in every single house and my mum
wove on one at home too like all ladies. She's
not weaving anymore, but now she's designing and
teaching carpet-making to other ladies.
In 1984 my dad (Ali Baba) started taking carpets
that my mum made to sell them to the other
carpet shops at Turkey's major tourist towns.
Day by day he bought more looms and started
producing more carpets in different villages. In
1992 we opened our first carpet shop in Selcuk
(Ephesus) * Izmir / Turkey, where we still are.
Since our first year in the business, we have
pushed the quality of our handmade carpets
higher and now we import and export them all
over to carpet galleries in Turkey and around
the world, and to customers who visit our shop.
It feels good to know that our rugs are bringing
color to many houses around the world.
As much as we produce, we also collect carpets,
kilims and other types of handmade Turkish rugs
from all around Turkey's regions.
Our Selection:
An extensive variety of New, Old and Antique
handmade Turkish Carpets, Kilims, Cushion and
Pillow Covers, representing all of Turkey's
famous carpet regions and differing designs may
be found within our collection. There are also
authentic Saddle, Camel, Salt and Donkey Bags
from which to choose.
Old & Antique Carpets:
Old rugs differ from Antique Carpets in terms of
age value. A carpet may be defined as old or
antique only after it has been used in local
Turkish homes and families for many years,
passing through the generations and marriages.
Once a carpet reaches the age of around 30-70
years it may be defined as Old. An Antique
carpet is one which was woven at least 100 years
ago. A wide variety of both Old and Antique
carpets are present within our selection, aged
from 30 years to those which were woven well
over a century ago.
Due to the unique Turkish hand-knotting method
and the superior quality of the hand-spun wool,
carpets become tighter and stronger after years
of use. Constant use also results in the wool
becoming incredibly soft, while the carpet
develops a sheen-like quality as the natural
dyes are enhanced. These combining factors
result in an increased value of the carpet.
Our website contains a thorough selection of
both Old and Antique rugs from all of Turkey's
carpet regions.
New Carpets:
Our entire range of new carpets and kilims are
made using completely original nomadic,
regional, and religious designs with 100%
hand-spun and naturally-dyed wool, utilizing the
unique Turkish double-knotting method. Our looms
predominately derive from Central-Western
Turkey, from where our family originates, with
the remainder deriving from Central and
South-East Turkey.
Personal request designs utilizing these
authentic Turkish spinning, dyeing and knotting
methods are also easily catered to.
Decoration Rugs:
Decoration rugs have been bringing color to the
lives of Turkish nomads, farmers and villagers
for thousands of years; now they may bring color
into your home too. There are also original
Turkish Decoration pillow and cushion covers, as
well as Saddle, Camel, Donkey and Salt Bags to
bring life to any room in your home.
