Curated textiles · Türkiye
One-of-a-kind vintage rugs, kilims, and Suzani — chosen for calm, considered interiors.
Antique and vintage textiles with character, history, and quiet beauty — each piece chosen for the depth it brings to a modern room.
Six ways into the shop. Every piece a single original.
Rated 4.7 of 5 across 12 Etsy reviews — from the rooms these pieces now live in.
A rug or a Suzani changes a room quietly — grounding it, warming it, giving the eye somewhere to rest.
Mehmet Yaktıyol has spent more than 35 years buying, selling, and studying antique rugs and vintage textiles. He knows the structures, the regional traditions, the signs of true handwork — and chooses each piece for honest age, sound craft, and the quiet character that lets it belong in a home.

The practical side of buying an antique textile from Türkiye.
Yes. We sell antique and vintage originals, not reproductions. The listing photographs show the exact piece you receive — front, back, and close-up. Once it sells, it's gone.
You order and pay on Etsy. We check, protect, and pack the piece in Türkiye, then dispatch it through ShipEntegra's Etsy-integrated shipping network. A tracking number is added to your order automatically, so you can follow it door to door.
Ask us first — sizes, palette, condition, even a photo of your room. We'd rather help you choose right the first time, so the piece you fall for is the one that fits.
The textile itself is always shown as it truly is — its colour, pattern, wear, and age are never retouched. Some room scenes are AI-assisted mockups, made purely to present the piece in a warm, styled setting. Every listing on Etsy also carries unaltered photographs — close-ups, full views, and the reverse side — so you can see the exact piece before you buy.
Gently. Vacuum without a beater bar, rotate a rug once or twice a year, and keep it out of harsh direct sun. For cleaning, trust a professional rug washer over a machine; Suzani and fine embroidery prefer occasional airing to washing.
