English, French, Armenian, Turkish

Collecting Kurdish, Turkish, Armenian, Yuruk, Caucasian, Beluch, Turkmen Rugs, Kilims and Bagfaces.

...Hayko’s main focus is the work on old and antique carpets that takes place in the brightly light room behind him and makes up 80 percent of his business. When dealing with valuable and rare carpets, average work is not good enough. You can rely on Hayko's staff of master craftspeople for impeccable restorations of the finest antique carpets. Hayk Oltaci's interest in carpets started at age 16, when his grandfather gave him an old Turkish rug in need of repair. What started as a hobby became a life-long passion. Since then, he perfected his craft at shops in Europe and the US before opening his own restoration service.
