Cream Tasseled Handwoven Wool Cushion Covers, Set of Two
Your rug is dispatched from Ankara and reaches you in 5-7 business days. Shipping, duties and taxes are calculated at checkout and paid up front, so nothing is collected at your door. Each rug is packed by hand to arrive exactly as it left the showroom.
Closer to a small weaving than to soft furnishing: two cream wool cushion covers, handwoven in Türkiye, 38 × 39 cm apiece (1'3" × 1'3") and finished with tassels. They are supplied as covers and sold in twos.
The tassels change what the object is. A cover without them is a cloth panel; with them it joins the family of woven things that have hung on walls and been thrown over saddles, and a room reads it that way even if nobody could say why. Cream keeps it quiet. Against oak, against linen, against a wall painted anything at all, a cream face is the one that does not have to be planned for, and the tassels then supply the small amount of incident the cover needs to be worth having.
All wool, worked by hand on a loom in Türkiye. The tassels are hand-finished and they are also the weak point: they tangle, they collect dust at the tips, and they come apart if they are pulled. Straighten them with fingers rather than a brush. The covers themselves want professional cleaning, since cream wool and household detergent produce a yellow cast that does not come back out.

The tassels are what will still be catching the light in ten years, assuming nobody has pulled them.
There is no such thing as leaving here unhappy. I vouch for very few things in this country, but my trust in Halıcızade is complete.
In the end the rug that made my home its best self was mine. The hour I spent in the store was the most enjoyable shopping I have done.
I went after reading the reviews online. The reviews understate it — attention and knowledge, both at once.
The right place: I bought a rug in ten minutes, on my first visit. I only had to say what I was looking for.
