Turkish Rugs: Original Bold Designs from Anatolia
Oriental Rug Exchange carries an ever-changing selection of authentic Turkish rugs. Our collection includes pieces from Oushak, Hereke, Kayseri, Sivas, Kozak, Konya, and Anatolia. We periodically acquire vintage Turkish rugs and antique Turkish rugs from distinguished Canadian estates.
Designs Found Nowhere Else
Turkish rugs are unlike any other Oriental rugs. They don't borrow designs from other rug-weaving areas like Chinese, Indian, and Pakistani weavers do. All their designs are original and bold. This creative independence makes Turkish rug carpet pieces instantly recognizable.
Turkish rugs feature distinctive designs and weaves that are unique to Turkey. Bold village rugs showcase distinctive regional character. Many are woven with natural dyes and handspun wool. Some of the finest silk rugs in the world are produced in Hereke and Kayseri.
Authentic Materials and Construction
Most village Turkish carpet rugs are made with 100% handspun wool and natural dyes. This traditional construction creates rugs of exceptional durability and beauty. Handspun wool has character and depth that machine-spun materials cannot match.
There is limited production of the finest pure silk rugs. Hereke and Kayseri master weavers create these precious pieces in small quantities. Their rarity and quality make them highly sought by serious rug lovers and collectors.
Quality Collection in Excellent Condition
The Turkish rugs in our collection are all in good condition. We have an exciting selection of antique village rugs that showcase traditional weaving at its finest. Bold geometric patterns, vibrant natural dyes, authentic handspun wool.
Many very exciting silk Herekes are featured in our current inventory. These represent Turkish silk weaving at its absolute peak. Each piece demonstrates technical mastery and artistic vision.
Exceptional Value Proposition
Turkish rugs are probably the most underpriced of all Oriental rugs. This remarkable value exists primarily because they're sourced from villages where the cost of living is lowest. Production costs remain significantly lower than those of Persian city workshops.
Collectors recognize this pricing advantage. Authentic Turkish rugs offer exceptional quality at accessible prices. Investment-minded buyers appreciate getting superior handmade rugs without premium pricing.
Proven Estate Provenance
The Turkish rugs in our collection come from Canadian estates with verified histories. Clients consign them because of downsizing from larger homes. Others inherited rugs they don't need or cannot accommodate. Some are redecorating and seeking new homes for treasured pieces.
This estate sourcing validates quality and authenticity. Families kept these Turkish carpet rugs for decades because they valued their beauty and durability.
Expert Authentication
Our Oriental rug experts are well-versed in Turkish rugs. We've cleaned and sold thousands of Turkish rugs over the years. This hands-on experience with diverse examples builds unmatched expertise.
Through our network of rug collectors and dealers, as well as our extensive rug library, it is easy to identify all Turkish rugs. We determine regional origin, approximate age, and construction characteristics with confidence.
A Remarkable Discovery
We recently discovered an antique Sivas rug from the 1880s. It had been stored in a basement since the 1950s. The piece was in perfect condition despite decades of storage. A rare sample of brilliant village weaving had been hidden away for generations.
This exemplifies the caliber of pieces that appear in our collection. Each Turkish rug brings its own story and character.
Complete Size Range
We currently stock an ever-changing selection of Turkish rugs, ranging from 2' x 3' to 10' x 15'. All are offered at exceptional value. Contact us to arrange a home viewing through our Try Before You Buy policy.
