The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating from the Afyon region in Western Anatolia, these flatweaves are renowned for their parmakli or finger motif. Traditionally woven by nomadic and village weavers, the comb-like pattern historically symbolised protection and family heritage.

These rugs are handwoven using pure hand-spun wool on traditional looms. Weavers employ a slit-weave flatweave technique, creating distinctive vertical gaps between colour blocks that form the geometric motifs.

Authentic pieces exhibit visible slit-weave gaps, slight irregularities in hand-spun yarn thickness, and natural colour variations known as abrash. The reverse side typically mirrors the front design directly without a synthetic backing.

Flatwoven kelims add texture and geometric structure when laid over natural timber floors or layered atop neutral sisal carpets. They also function effectively as decorative wall hangings or draped across furniture accents.

Vacuum gently using a suction-only attachment without a rotating beater bar to avoid pulling threads. Address spills immediately with a damp cloth and mild neutral soap, and place a quality underlay underneath to prevent slipping and friction wear.
