The Bisāṭim StoryTwo decades in the field.
Two decades in the field.
One name to tell it.
Since 2005, we have travelled Türkiye collecting vintage rugs — driven by the same passion that led us to build Bisāṭim.

Our mark
Bisāṭim
Curated Turkish vintage rugs
The name
A word for what we have always done.
Bisāṭim draws from bisāt — an Arabic word for a spread, a mat laid on the ground. For centuries, a rug was exactly that: the surface where life happened. Meals, conversation, prayer, rest.
We chose this name because it describes our work honestly. We do not manufacture rugs. We find them, authenticate them, and place them in homes where they will be lived with — not merely displayed.
How it began
2005
We did not set out to build a brand. We set out to find rugs worth keeping.
In 2005, we started collecting vintage rugs across Türkiye — Oushak fields faded to honey and ivory, tribal kilims from Central Anatolia, pieces rolled and forgotten in back rooms that deserved a second life. Each find confirmed what we already felt: this work was not a hobby. It was a calling.
For years we bought, restored gently, and sold quietly — always guided by the same instinct. Does this rug have soul? Does it carry its region in the wool? Would we live with it ourselves? That filter never changed.
“We wanted to do something new — not just sell rugs, but tell the story behind every knot, every journey from village to home.”
Why Bisāṭim exists
Our journey
From the road to a name.
2005
The first pieces
We began travelling across Türkiye — through Anatolian villages, Istanbul markets, and private homes — collecting vintage rugs one piece at a time. Not as a business plan, but as a passion.
2010s
Building trust in the field
Years on the road deepened our eye for weave, dye, and provenance. Relationships with local dealers and families became the foundation of how we source — face to face, rug by rug.
2020s
From passion to purpose
What started as a personal pursuit grew into something larger. Collectors and designers began seeking the same authenticity we had always chased — pieces with history, not reproduction.
Today
Bisāṭim is born
We gave the work a name and a story. Bisāṭim — from the Arabic word for a spread or mat — is our promise to honour the textile tradition we have lived inside since 2005.
The work continues
Every piece in our collection carries the same promise we made in 2005.
Bisāṭim is the story of that promise — told through the logo on our door, the provenance on every listing, and the rugs we would still choose for our own homes.
