Every piece in The Rug Dept. collection is vintage, and often antique—knotted carpets and woven kilims. Time has left fades, marks and scars, but all are clean and ready for you, (however, due to their authenticity and age, sometimes they have a musty wool smell when they arrive that passes with airing).

Some feel like a doorway. Others, a love letter. All of them carry poetry in the knots and weaving.

What I collect are treasured, rare artifacts of a never to be repeated history. The generations old art and craft of carpet weaving is nearly lost to our world, these pieces are finite and basically priceless.

I source directly from Turkish villages and traders with whom I have had long relationships. All rugs are authentic, one of a kind heirlooms which will hold their resale value. Suitable for designer properties, and also stylish everyday use. Materials are pure wools, silks or cottons.

You’ll know when one is yours.

Be sure to claim it.
