A Family Rug Store in Istanbul, Built Around Craft, Trust, and Selection
Palmyra Oriental continues a family tradition of selecting handmade rugs, kilims, and textiles from across the East.
Our Story
Palmyra Oriental grew from a family connection to rugs and textiles, carried from Aleppo to a gallery in Istanbul. What stayed constant is the work itself: looking closely, selecting carefully, and presenting each piece honestly.
What We Select
We curate Persian, Turkish, Afghan, and Caucasian rugs, along with kilims, soumak flatweaves, cushions, and collectible special pieces. We do not weave the rugs ourselves. We select, study, document, and present handmade and culturally meaningful pieces.
How We Work
We don't simply list rugs. We help customers choose — by size, room, material, origin, and budget — and we're glad to send extra photos and video, explain what a piece is, and advise on what fits a space.
Our Promise
We explain what we know, we are honest about what we do not know, and we help each customer find a piece that fits both the space and the story of the home.
