Nakkas - Oriental Rugs & Textiles

At first glance, The Orange Seller (1908) by Enrique Serra Auqué draws the eye to the figure and her basket of oranges.

But look closer — the Anatolian rug beneath her quietly becomes part of the narrative.

Its motifs, texture, and handwoven spirit add warmth and depth to the painting, turning an everyday scene into a portrait of living tradition.

A quiet moment made perfect: the warmth of a cup of tea in your hands, and beneath your feet the soft rhythm of a handwoven Turkish carpet.

It’s in these simple details—texture, warmth, stillness—that home begins to feel like a ritual.

Woven in the highlands of Sivas, where tradition runs deep and every knot carries the patience of generations, these carpets speak in quiet patterns of

Anatolia’s enduring craft heritage. Natural wool, grounded motifs, and a timeless palette come together in pieces that feel both earthy and refined.

Now available at Nakkaş in Istanbul—where each Sivas carpet finds a new home without losing its origin.

May at Nakkaş Rug is a celebration of wings, wildflowers, and the quiet poetry of nature awakening.

This butterfly-filled carpet, woven in soft pastel tones and vibrant spring hues, feels like the season itself — welcoming summer with lightness, movement, and color. 🌿🦋

In many Anatolian homes, a bride’s carpet isn’t bought last minute—it’s woven over years as part of her çeyiz (dowry). Motifs aren’t random: hands-on-hips for fertility, ram’s horns for strength, amulets for protection.

Some are laid out during the ceremony, others quietly move into the new home the next day. Either way, they don’t stay “new” for long—they begin collecting a life almost immediately.

Woven over centuries in Anatolia, these signature Turkish red carpets carry depth, warmth, and quiet prestige.

Long before the modern red carpet became a symbol of honor, these tones were already underfoot — marking importance, presence, and ceremony.

At Nakkaş, every red tells that story.
