Handmade Turkish Carpets Are a legacy Passed Down through generations

Turkish traditional carpets are best known for being 100% natural as they are made from sheep’s wool.

These handmade carpets are woven using traditional methods to maintain the high quality of the produced carpets, not to mention that used dyes are free from any chemicals.

Therefore, Turkish carpets are durable and they are usually decorated with different and varied patterns, each of which has a special story.

There is remarkable high demand for these carpets as they can be used in home decoration.

Several Turkish carpet merchants strive to preserve this legacy that has been passed down through generations.

Hashim Gurli is among these merchants, who grew up in his father’s shop located in the Beyazit district in central Istanbul.

He loved his father’s profession and was keen to follow his suit.
