I am in Turkey at the moment and have just bought my first rug. It is beautiful and the dealer was so helpful and lovely about everything. I am blown away by the Turkish people. Their kindness, honesty and pride in their culture is so touching I feel myself falling in love with Turkey after barely a few days.

Yeah my experience has been the exact opposite. Don’t get me wrong, there are a shit ton of things I love about turkey, it’s culture, history, art, food etc etc. and I have Turkish friends. but doing business with them has been such a pain. They are impatient and even rude if you don’t pay them immediately (several times I bought from Turkish store online and they canceled my purchase because I didn’t pay as it was something like 3am in the morning and I didn’t immediately receive their link to pay so I decided to you know, go to sleep and pay when I wake up. And when I complained, they said (and I’m quoting): “nobody waits to pay for more than two hours, I hope you are awake now!”, no joke, they are THIS rude if anything is even slightest in their inconvenience) they are angry at you if you ask too many questions about their item (if for example you want a money back guarantee regarding authenticity of materials, because of the hassle in returns which usually is not possible, at least without losing a shit ton of your money), and they will flat out refuse to take any responsibilities if anything goes wrong on their end (if they promised to make you certain things then told you sorry they actually can’t). Basically, they are all smiles and friendliness when they get your money in their pockets as fast as possible, but it’s all a front. They are not honest people by a long shot, certainly not comparing to most Europeans and Americans, I had better experiences with Chinese and Indians in fact than Turkish businessmen, and I LIKE stuff from turkey! What a shame.

S SN QN um...where has turkey said they are proud of their history regarding slavery? They are proud of their accomplishments, in creating a wealthy and vast empire during a time when virtually everybody was trying to do that. I happen to know Turks are very aware of all the dark side of their past. Just for example watch their series magnificent century, the most popular series regarding their greatest sultan-suleiman the magnificent. It was the most popular series for a reason-it showed both the good and bad side and all of its consequences of the Ottoman Empire and its accomplishments. The west is actually too beta from this perspective. No other country apologizes for past crimes when virtually all powerful nations are doing it. Japan is not apologizing for the Nanking massacre, nobody bats an eye, South Africa is not apologizing for its white genocide, nobody cares. The only reason why we even care about black slavery or the Jewish genocide, is that these subjects have been shoved in our faces. Otherwise we be all moved on. The attitude would be: yeah okay that was a bad idea, now let’s move on, which is literally what everywhere else except the west is doing. And that will be the undoing of the west. It’s time they learn to stand up for themselves

I was an american stationed in Turkey in 2003. I bought several carpets from Serkan and his father. I knew nothing about carpets and some carpet dealers were pricing carpet all over the place. Serkan and his father were very honest with me and sold me good carpets for very good prices. These carpets are sitting on my floor and of great value to me. I also loved Kapadokya and the town of Goreme where their shop is located.

You can buy any of these rugs for a fraction of the price on ebay right here in the U.S. I see tons of these carpets on facebook marketplace or craigslist where they paid thousands and now don't know what to do with it.

Buying a rug on your lovely trip to Turkey is sure way of getting ripped off. Take the prices he quoted you go to your local shop and you'll find similar pieces priced in half, Guaranteed! And when a rug dealer tell you this rug will appreciate in value, RUN. I have friends that lost their shirts with these guys, one shop still calls and offers a free trip back to Turkey!!!

For sure. He started by saying you can’t get 100 dollars rugs? Yes you can! Small ones! Actually if you spend 10,000 that’s already a lot. Most large vintage ones range around 300-800 dollars. However if you buy new then obviously it will be about a bit more than twice that price, but still not this crazy price range he quoted. Buy them online, because then you can get a sense of the actual market and you won’t be ripped off so easily because on sites like eBay and Etsy there’s buyer protection, anything you use PayPal to pay also will have buyer protection so it’s much safer. People have to understand that carpets are an intricate part of a Muslim’s life, therefore it’s as common as chopsticks are in China. So lots of people make it which will drive the price down. It’s a common commodity, not something that’s considered a rare collectible or even necessarily luxury item. Some carpets are no doubt very expensive, but most of them are in fact very affordable. Don’t be fooled by the haggling and you’ll be fine.

this has been informative. Just one question: is the dealer a reputable/knowledgeable person? The silk carpets always cost a fortune but is there any reliable way to tell the difference between wool and silk carpets? Burn tests both yield similar results and fancy laboratory test equipments cannot really be fitted neatly in a bag like a lighter. Natural dyes age differently but do natural dyed carpets, when new, have certain qualities which identify the naturalness of the dye on first inspection? With globalization, migrations of producers, and a renaissance of market knowledge (what patterns Americans/Europeans prefer), how do we know if the commercial production is of the same quality as familial/religious production?

Anyone who is familiar with natural fibers can easily tell the difference between wool and silk fibers - even though there is a lot of variation in the quality available in both natural fibers (probably more variation exists in wool, from different types, breeds, regions, how managed, weather, how processed, etc). You cannot carry a lab with you, but Yocom-McColl Testing Laboratories in Colo, USA can test the fiber for you. Othewise, train your eye and hand - look closely and handle many different natural fibers from different sources, processed and dyed using different methods, and you will soon be able to tell silk from wool, even the finer wools, with no problem. You can visit fiber festivals, aka sheep& wool festivals, or shops that cater to the discriminating fiber artist, handspinners, weavers, etc (not chain shops) and see and handle different fibers and different grades of wool, etc.

Like learning to distinguish between wool and silk, with a little practive, it is not difficult to tell the difference between a good rug and an exceptionally well-made one. Go to rug shops and look, look, look! Always look at the back. It is easy to tell at a glance if a rug is machine made, but looking at many, many rugs and carpets over time will educate your eye - especially if you have the chance to shop at a reputable dealer - they will have their rugs properly identified and appropriately priced.

BTW - it is more difficult for most people to tell the difference between chemical fibers, especially 'synthetic silk' aka 'Rayon' and similar fibers than it is to tell the difference between wool and silk. Keep in mind that carpet wools often have more luster than the wool commonly available for knitting. Many carpet wool breeds have longer wool, and most are coarser, though it may feel smoother to the fingertips (still, carpet wool is NOT generally suitable for garments!).

I've read some books mainly the one written by a British author on Persian carpets. The problem with these old books is the dearth of illustrations, and if there are photos, they're all black and white. I'm still looking for a youtuber who have both the knowledge and collection to showcase the visual qualities that a novice can quickly learn from. I've visited a lot of carpet shops, mainly run by Middle Easterners, and can say that 90% of them straight out lie to me about quality and origin. I'm not an expert but can now tell a quality rug from a mediocre rug from a mass produced synthetic rug. There is no standardization in pricing and no government body established to qualify the advertised claims of many dealers.

I bought a small rug (approx 3' X 7') from someone who inherited it but didn't like it. I paid $30 for it. I didn't think it was a real Persian, Turkish, or Oriental rug but a reproduction. However, I have been researching it and I'm beginning to think it may be the real thing. Where would I take it to have it looked at? I just what to know if it is really handmade, and if so, where it is from, and what it is worth. Where does one take a rug like this to have a knowledgeable person look at it?

When I have the chance, I will take my rug to him to look at. From my online research I believe it is a Malayer probably from the early 20th century. I doubt it is older than that. I will be interested to bring it in and see what he has to say about it! Thank you for your information.

You can also look at most books on Oriental carpets and perhaps answer your questions, especially whether it is machine made or hand woven. You may find you are bitten by the bug and will soon spend more than your $30 to start your collection.

I mean both of you need a pair of glasses if you think Turkish Anatolian carpets look better than Persian carpets. Its like comparing a Chinese counterfeit to an original.

Thank you for asking these insightful questions (I'll answer both comments here). * The shop I went to for this video is trustworthy. I had a great experience with them. In the end you are at the mercy of the salesman. If you don't feel like you can trust them, than walk away because you will get ripped off. I have heard horror stories although not in Cappadocia. Personally, I would avoid the big shops that receive all the tourist buses. They are looking for a certain kind of customer and have to deal with high commissions. * Source- the problem with going straight to the source is that the source is fading quickly. One part I left out of this video was the host telling me about how the art was becoming extinct. Less and less girls are learning the craft. You used to be able to go into the mountain villages and find amazing carpets in every home and now very few are left. It is not a requirement for getting married anymore among other changes in culture and economy. So, this means that these old carpet collectors/shops are the only places you can find these authentic homemade carpets. Of course, this means that the price/value will increase faster in the coming years. * In my experience it is not that difficult to differentiate silk and wool carpets. Maybe I have been deceived? I think the keys are being informed (what I have tried to do a little in this video), looking at lots of different carpets in different shops, and then finding a place you can trust (this will be more intuition than anything). Once you have picked one and paid for it, stop shopping and you won't have to deal with buyer's remorse! I hope this helps a bit. Let me know if you have more questions. Remember, in the end, if you are happy with your purchase, then you got a good deal; enjoy it (and don't let anyone ruin it for you).

Duke Dillard I am trying to buy a few pieces so I own several books dealing with carpets from various nations and the producing tribes in each one. Notably, Turkey, Tibet, India, Pakistan, and China all have their own books written by well established authors, mainly from the UK. With the more recent publications, esp. after 2000, I gained the valuable insight that many of the "new" carpets are actually much better made than the ones of vintage or even antique provenance. This is why Turkey (new techniques and return to vegetable dyes) and Tibet (new funding and an eager Chinese market) now have a good reputation for their products. So nearly all new carpets made after 2010 are commercial production, esp. the higher quality pieces, which are mainly "private commissions" with design inputs from the high end carpet dealers in America and Europe. What this is means is that "history/heritage" isn't really relevant anymore, since the best Persian weavers work in Pakistan and the best dyers and tanneries work in Turkey/Europe to supply the Turkish/Tibetian/Pakistani, etc weavers. The story of carpet is very similar the story of cigars, both luxury products subjected to the whims of politics and wars. I think I will only buy new pieces since in today's terms that ensures more authenticity and better investment. What I am still annoyed is the relative ease to which a dealer slices off several thousands on a high end carpet. They either got them for very cheap or I am overpaying.

Justmyopinionlol Very interesting. I did not know this and I am not sure it is true in Cappadocia with the local places turning out new carpets in workshop settings with mixed quality. I would take the older unique ones over the newer ones that I have seen. But I may be wrong. I am unclear on whether you are talking about shops in foreign countries or also in places like Cappadocia? I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge- very helpful.

Turkish carpets' uniqeness is about knot technique. Only Turkish carpets have double knots. Persian carpets have single knot. Double knot is more durable.

Türk halıları tamamen el ile dokunarak yapılır. İran halıları tek düğümlü iken Türk halıları çift düğümlüdür. Orta Asya, İran ve Anadolu'ya kadar Türklerle birlikte yaşayan bir sanattır. Bugün İran halılarının en yoğun olduğu Tebriz şehri tamamıyla Türktür. Güney Azerbaycan özerk bölgesi. Bunları öğrenin sonra konuşun aptal herifler 😂

​@@siavashtabrizjustiran4ever579 Stupid man Turks have a history of at least 4000 years. It is a nation living in the Altai mountains and Ötüken in Central Asia. Even our language is from the Ural-Altaic language family. The probability that the carpet found in the Ural Altai is a Persian carpet is zero. What are you Iranians looking for in the Ural Altai? We ruled Iran for more than 1000 years. You lived in our culture. Iranian civilization is a great civilization. As İlber Ortaylı said. But that doesn't mean everything is yours. We are a great nation that has established great states and kingdoms. Then we carried this culture to Anatolia. We have spread to large geographies. You couldn't leave Iran. Admit it slave 😁 By the way, more than half of the Mongolian army was Turkish. That Saka Turk who kicked you was also a Turk, Tomris Hatun 😁
