Buyer guide
How to Evaluate a Turkish Rug Before Buying
Traditional Turkish weaving includes wool, cotton and silk, while kilims are flat-woven and pile carpets are generally knotted. The safest online comparison is therefore piece-specific, not category-only.
Carpet vs kilim: check the structure
A kilim is a flat weave without pile; a pile carpet is built through knotting or another pile-forming construction. Do not infer technique from appearance alone—read the exact product record.
Material changes feel, sheen and care
Wool, cotton and silk are all found in Turkish weaving traditions. A listing should separate pile/foundation materials where known instead of using vague labels such as “authentic”.
Origin is a fact, not a decorative keyword
Regional names such as Hereke, Kayseri or Bergama can imply different weaving histories, but the origin of a specific rug should only be published when it is actually verified for that piece.
Turn the rug over
Back-side, knot, edge and fringe photos help reveal construction, repairs and finishing. A front-only image is not enough for a high-value handmade textile.
Measure the exact piece
Handmade textiles can have small dimensional irregularities. Publish measured width and length for the actual piece so the buyer can test room fit before ordering.
Separate verified facts from sales language
Age, natural-dye, one-of-one and handmade claims should never be invented. Our catalog only activates a product after its core facts, media, price and stock are complete.
Product and Offer data remain governed by the verified exact-piece catalog source of truth; generic placeholder media is rejected.
Turkish Rug Buying FAQ
Short answers to the questions that matter before you order a rug in Istanbul.
What is the difference between a Turkish carpet and a kilim?
A pile carpet is generally knotted, while a kilim is flat-woven without a pile. For buying decisions, compare the exact technique, material, dimensions and condition of the individual piece.
Which materials are common in traditional Turkish weaving?
Traditional Turkish weaving uses materials including wool, cotton and silk. The material should be stated for the exact rug because construction varies from piece to piece.
How can I inspect a handmade rug online?
Request front, back, edge, fringe, knot and measuring photos. Exact dimensions, origin, material, technique, condition, price and stock should be documented before payment.
Can a rug be delivered to my Istanbul hotel?
When available for the selected product, hotel delivery can be chosen during the order flow. Pickup and international shipping options are confirmed according to the exact piece and destination.
