What We Sell
Talk of Turkey Carpets sells a wide range of traditional rugs, kilim and decor pieces, as well as modern plain coloured and especially Pacific designs built into "Gabeh" style rugs.
If your requirement is investment value, value priced decor and functional pieces, or straight decor colour rugs at extremely low prices, we believe Talk of Turkey Carpets can help. We have many rugs from Caucasus, Iran, Turkey and have a special emphasis on tribal pieces from many nomadic territories.
All sizings available.
Kilims
Woollen flat weaves, of many differing styles, often tribal pieces produced by nomads as decorative textiles. A more casual floor covering as an alternative to knotted rugs, and often used as throws, hangings and covers to enhance any decorators appreciation of colour.
From small to large pieces, Talk of Turkey Carpets have a huge range priced to suit all budgets.

Cushions
Many pieces have been produced specifically as cushions. In addition many are produced from selected old rugs and kilim in which time and wear has caused much damage but left fragments well worthy of enjoying in their new cushion form.

Traditional Rugs
We specialise in rugs of a "middle age". They may originate in the Caucasus, Iran, Turkey, or any one of many nomadic territories.
Sizes vary from tiny pieces (yastiks is the Turkish term) to large dining area rugs in excess of 12 sq metres. A large selection of runners are also available. Although these older rugs are becoming harder to source with each year, we maintain high stock levels. In this range rugs can be modestly priced and can also be investment pieces where history has shown rapid value increases.

Modern Rugs
A great variety of current production rugs are available throughout the world. Theses vary immensely in quality and we have chosen to stock mainly the top end of quality as we perceive a hand-made rug to have a need to age into a valuable "older rug".
We offer Afghani and Indian rugs produced under strict quality controls - we have visited often and observed the preparation of the natural dyes and seen the fine quality of the wool used. These are competitively priced, but will not compete in pricing levels with inferior qualities. We do believe a purchaser should be happy with his purchase for many years.
All sizings are available - a special area being in rugs shaped towards square and also in a large range of runners.
