Anatolian Turkish Rug
Walking on Vesey St. in TriBeCa, I spotted a rug from a distance as an elderly couple unpacked a bundle of rugs from their van. Out of curiosity, I struck up a conversation with rug gurus, David Sheinkopf and Julia Marin. They are the owners of Rugs Below, a company specializing in international, antique, luxury rugs. Their rugs sell for thousands of dollars and they have been in the business for years. They taught me just about everything you can learn about rugs in one day.

I ended up purchasing an amazing, antique 1920’s Anatolian Turkish Kilm. This 100% wool, hand-made rug has rich colors and geometric, seemingly navajo print. David educated me on the significance of my selection. The majority of the Turkish population is Muslim, and because of certain religious beliefs, the sacred color green was rarely used in rugs. It was considered disrespectful to walk on. The rarity in color choice and print for its time make rug unique.
