Anatolian Carpet Heritage, Aksaray Sultanhani

The most exquisite weaving examples from the Anatolian geography represent an ancient cultural heritage extending from the Seljuk Turks to the present day. These valuable carpets continue to be woven in Aksaray's Sultanhanı town, utilizing traditional methods upheld by local artisans for centuries. In this way, the deeply rooted art of carpet-making is carried forward and maintains its vitality.

Furthermore, the magnificent caravanserai, situated at the heart of Sultanhanı's historical texture, hosts a significant cultural activity. Here, a selection of historical carpets, assembled by prominent carpet collectors, is exhibited within the unique atmosphere of the caravanserai for visitors.

We are pleased to share with you, via our blog, an image from the carpet collection displayed in this historical venue. These artifacts, which reveal the richness of our cultural heritage spanning from the past to the present, stand as the most beautiful evidence of the artistic depth of our region.

Should your path lead you to this important junction of Anatolia, we strongly recommend that you visit this splendid caravanserai from the Seljuk period and the precious collection it houses.

We extend our deepest respect and gratitude to all friends who contributed to the creation and exhibition of this valuable collection.
