Overview

Go beyond ordinary carpet shopping and discover the fascinating world of handmade Turkish carpets with a local expert who has 25 years of experience in the field.

Whether you are searching for a beautiful carpet for your home, looking for a unique piece of Turkish art, or simply curious about one of Turkey’s most important traditions, this private experience is designed around your interests, your taste and your budget.

Before visiting the suppliers, we first discuss what you are looking for — including size, material, colors, design, intended use and budget. Based on your preferences, I use my network of reputable wholesale and retail suppliers to introduce you to a selection of carpets that may suit you.

There is absolutely no obligation to purchase a carpet. You are welcome to simply enjoy the experience, learn about Turkish carpet culture and see authentic pieces.

If you do decide to purchase, I will help you navigate the process and connect you with reputable sources.
