These handcrafted beauties come straight from the heart of Anatolia, carrying the ancient weaving tradition of the Turks who migrated from Central Asia to Anatolia. Why did rug weaving first appear in Central Asia? Because the main economic source of the nomadic Turks in the steppes was animal husbandry! The main material of the rug is usually sheep's wool.

The history of Anatolian rugs is divided into two eras: The first era features Yoruk rugs, adorned with geometric motifs and nature depictions. The second era showcases classic Ottoman rugs, decorated with floral patterns and elegant medallions. Both eras offer masterpieces in their own right.
