from a vast range of wool, wool and silk and pure silk carpets and also
a huge range of Kilims (flat woven carpets), all carpets are hand made
and available at fantastic prices.
Every carpet is a piece of art, with no two the same, the patterns resemble
a collection of messages, beliefs and symbols. The craft of carpet weaving
dates back to the 13th century and the Anatolian region has always been
a source of high quality carpets.
Anatolian carpets began to appear in Europe from the 14th century, with
a further increase in the 15th century. Usak and Bergama were significant
weaving centres in 16th century Anatolia and can be found decorating
museums in Europe.
