WHO WE ARE
Hi, there.
We're City of Rug.
Our rug adventure, which has been going on for about 76 years, first started in 1945 in Van, Turkey, with my grandfather and father. We moved our business, which grew over time, to Istanbul in 1960. Our store in Istanbul Sultanahmet is approximately 61 years old. In that store, we have hand woven rugs that are mostly antique.
