ABOUT US

Dating back to the 4th century BC, the Pazyryk carpet is recognized as the world’s oldest known carpet, woven using the symmetrical double knot, also known as the Turkish knot. Among the many cultures that have shaped history through their distinctive traditions, Turks are especially known for their deep-rooted carpet-weaving heritage. Until just a century ago, nearly every household in Anatolia owned a weaving loom, and each region adhered to its own patterns, symbols, and techniques. Using natural plant dyes and hand-spun wool, families created rugs for daily life, ceremonial use, or for sale in local markets, allowing each piece to carry both cultural meaning and practical value.

Building on this heritage, the third-generation Koker family continues the tradition of Turkish carpet weaving through skilled craftsmanship and a commitment to high-quality natural materials. What began as a local practice has grown into a flourishing legacy, now operating across different parts of the world and within the U.S. market, while remaining faithful to its origins.

The family’s mission is to preserve and contribute to the art of creating durable Turkish hand-knotted rugs designed to be lived with and passed down through generations. Their vertically connected supply chain begins at the weaving loom and extends through wholesale centers and retail stores, ensuring both quality and continuity. In doing so, the craft of carpet weaving supports thousands of artisans, sustains livelihoods, and strengthens the communities in which it exists.

Contributing to the world’s arts and crafts heritage is not only an honor, but a responsibility the family proudly carries forward.
