FAQs

Sarkoy kilims originate from the Thrace region spanning modern-day Turkey, Greece, and Bulgaria, traditionally woven by local nomadic and village communities using distinctive flatweave techniques and bold geometric motifs.

These textiles are constructed using a slit-weave flatweave technique without a pile, typically utilizing handspun wool for both the warp and the weft, dyed with natural vegetable and mineral colourants.

Authenticity is determined by examining the natural irregularities in handspun wool fibres, the presence of organic dye variations, hand-finished edges, and traditional regional motifs characteristic of the period.

An antique flatweave rug can be styled as a focal point on polished wooden floors, layering texture and heritage pattern into minimalist, eclectic, or traditional living spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming without a beater brush, professional specialist cleaning when necessary, and avoiding direct, prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight to prevent dye fading.
