Quite likely one of the Best of type ☝️
Had the pleasure of living with this beauty for a few years before I sold it to a dealer at the last ICOC in Washington DC several years ago. Must admit I have not encountered another one quite like it since but certainly hope/pray 🙏 I do!

Our Story

"Mete Mutlu, owner of Yoruk Rug Gallery has been working with Oriental rugs since 1989 starting in Istanbul, Turkey. Moved to Chicago in 1994 to run an Oriental rug store for 8 years before opening his own gallery where now he is specializing in Authentic Antique and Vintage Oriental Tribal Rugs, Kilims and Textiles. Mete truly loves and respects the art and beauty of handmade tribal rugs. He could (and does!) spend hours discussing the various aspects of rugs, the people who make them, their history and traditions. Offering expert restoration, repair, conservation, cleaning and appraisal services as well. We are a small, family-owned and operated business. Allison Mutlu, Mete’s wife, manages the less interesting, but necessary practical sides of the business. We hope you have a moment to relax and browse our collection. Don’t forget to subscribe for updates. Looking forward to working together and helping you with all your rug needs!"
