Nadiye & Ahmet

A heartfelt treasure, hand-knotted and signed by Nadiye for her beloved Ahmet, over 60 years ago. This rare Gabbeh-like rug features a sparse, modern tree-of-life motif crafted from hand-spun, undyed natural wool in soft ivory, beige, and natural brown tones.

The weaver's signature and the repetition of her and her beloved's name transforms this piece into something deeply personal, a labor of love, a woven poem, that connects us directly to something precious and beautiful. Never made to be sold, this is one of those pieces with such a strong sentimental charge and value, easily amplified by its beautiful abstract and improvised aesthetic.  The neutral palette adapts effortlessly to any interior, while the scarcity and simplicity of the design, heartwarming and improvised, endow it with a character that is hard to replicate or match.  This is then not simply a semi-antique rug, but a compelling work of art whether displayed on a wall or underfoot.

A collectible piece that celebrates love and devotion, the arts, and the human touch that makes these works possible.
