These aren’t just rugs; they’re cultural artifacts. Woven with natural dyes and traditional looms, our collection speaks to a heritage that’s still alive, and evolving.

The Legacy of Turkish Carpets
Turkey has long been at the crossroads of art and trade, and its carpets are among the most celebrated in the world. Istanbul, in particular, has played a central role as a hub of weaving innovation and textile exchange. At Nakkaş Rug, we honor this legacy by preserving the finest traditions of Turkish rug-making while supporting the next generation of artisans. Our rugs are made to last — not just as décor, but as heirlooms.
