Our mission

Definitions

What these rugs are

  1. 01

    Vintage rug

    A vintage rug is a one-of-a-kind, typically 40–50-year-old handwoven textile authenticated in the field before it is listed.

  2. 02

    Handmade rug

    A handmade rug is a textile knotted or woven on a loom by hand — not a machine-made run — so each piece has unique tension, dye, and scale.

  3. 03

    Kilim

    A kilim is a flatweave (pile-less) floor covering; unlike a knotted rug, the pattern is formed by the weft and warp on the surface.

  4. 04

    Patchwork rug

    A patchwork rug is a composition stitched by hand from selected vintage or handmade fragments, with a reinforced backing for daily use.

Sempati Hali has sourced Anatolian vintage, handmade, kilim, and patchwork rugs from Istanbul since 2005. Orders reach Aras Kargo in 1–2 working days; unused pieces have a 14-day free return; international shipping is $20 per m².

How we source

How we work

From village markets to our Istanbul showroom, every piece is assessed, documented, and prepared for collectors and trade partners.

  1. 01

    Field sourcing

    Our buyers travel to regional markets, estate sales, and weaving villages across Anatolia and beyond to find pieces before they are lost.

  2. 02

    Authentication

    Every rug is assessed for age, region, dye origin, and structural integrity. We document the provenance of each piece before it joins the collection.

  3. 03

    Conservation

    Where needed, pieces are gently cleaned and conserved by hand — never chemically washed — so the original character is preserved intact.
