An Istanbul rug house, weaving trust since 1997.
"A great rug is not bought in a hurry. It is lived with."
The Orient Gallery began with a simple belief: that a handwoven rug is not merely a floor covering, but a work of art with a lifetime ahead of it. Since 1997, from our home in Istanbul, we have devoted ourselves to the finest handwoven carpets and kilims of Anatolia.
We travel to the great weaving regions — Hereke, Oushak, Heriz, Kayseri — to choose each piece by hand. Every rug is knotted by master weavers in pure wool and silk, colored with natural dyes, and carries the quiet signature of the person who made it. No two are ever alike.
And because a rug should be chosen in the room it will call home, we bring the gallery to you. Across the United States and Canada, a specialist visits with a curated selection, so you can see each piece in your own light — at no cost, and with no obligation. It is a slower, more personal way to find a rug. We would not have it any other way.
Every rug is knotted entirely by hand by master weavers in Anatolia — never machine-made, never rushed.
Pure wool and silk, natural dyes and the weaver's own hand mean no two pieces are ever the same.
We visit your home with a curated selection, so you choose each rug in the very space it is meant for.
For nearly three decades, families across the world have welcomed our rugs into their homes. A fine handwoven rug is an heirloom: cared for well, it grows only more beautiful, passing warmth and color from one generation to the next.
We are rug dealers at heart — and we treat every piece, and every home it enters, with the respect it deserves.

A Hereke silk rug is a finely knotted Turkish rug woven in pure silk, prized for its high knot density, luminous detail and lasting value as a collectible heirloom.
Each rug is one of a kind, so pricing is shared on request. Book a home visit or message us on WhatsApp, and our team will personally help you find the right piece for your home.
You book a visit with your preferred date and address, and our specialist brings a curated selection of handwoven rugs directly to your home. You see each piece in your own room and light, keep what you love, and there is no cost and no obligation to buy.
Every piece is one of a kind, so pricing is on request and depends on size, age, material and knot density. Wool rugs, silk rugs and kilims each have their own range — tell us your room and budget and we will bring options that fit both.
Turn the rug over: on a handwoven piece the pattern is clearly visible knot by knot on the back, the fringe is the rug's own warp (not sewn on), and small irregularities in the design are natural. We show all of this in person at every home viewing.
Vacuum gently without a beater bar, rotate the rug once or twice a year, and keep it out of prolonged direct sun. Blot spills immediately with a dry cloth. Every few years, have it washed by a specialist who works with hand-knotted rugs.
