La beauté de Sutunu
1. Visit a Historic Caravanserai
Step inside one of Istanbul’s hidden caravanserais, once a resting place for Silk Road merchants. Explore its courtyards and arches while learning about its history and the art traditions it preserved.
2. Meet Master Weavers
Watch artisans demonstrate traditional Turkish carpet weaving and silk making. Discover how natural dyes, patterns, and techniques have been passed down through generations.
3. Learn to Read a Carpet
Drawing from my work as the author of How to Read a Turkish Carpet, I guide you through the meanings behind motifs, patterns, and colors. You begin to see carpets not as objects, but as a visual language shaped by culture and belief.
4. Conclude with a personalized presentation of fine Turkish carpets in a serene setting. I help you interpret each piece’s artistry and symbolism. More than shopping, it is a private journey into Turkish art, culture, and meaning, with no pressure to buy.
