We are delighted to welcome Rug Specialist from Turkey as one of our new exhibitors. Founded by Ibrahim Tekin, Rug Specialist celebrates the rich heritage of Turkish craftsmanship, rooted in the ancient rug-weaving traditions of Konya. Ibrahim’s journey began in his hometown, where a summer job at an antique rug shop near the tomb of the 13th-century Sufi poet Rumi sparked a lifelong passion for the art of rug-making. What started as a curiosity quickly grew into a deep appreciation for the intricate designs, vivid colours, and stories woven into each piece—values that continue to define Rug Specialist today.
