Nakkaş

Nakkaş Halı (Carpet), located in Sultanahmet, Istanbul, is one of the most important representatives of Turkish carpet weaving, with over 30 years of experience. It boasts a unique collection of more than 20,000 carpets and kilims, including antique pieces. The store offers not only classic, handwoven carpets but also modern designs produced with traditional methods, catering to all tastes.

One of the most notable features of Nakkaş Halı is the beautifully restored Nakkaş Nakilbent Cistern located in the basement. Discovered in 2005, this cistern, with a history of 1542 years, was built in the 6th century by Byzantine Emperor Justinian and used as a water reservoir until the 15th century. Today, the cistern serves as an art gallery, free to visit with a reservation, and enchants visitors with its historical atmosphere.

Nakkaş Halı is not just a store but also a reflection of Turkish carpet weaving heritage. Every carpet displayed here carries the traces of centuries-old weaving traditions and cultural heritage. Upon entering the store, you are greeted by a peaceful atmosphere filled with exquisite colors and unique patterns. The knowledgeable staff guides you through the rich world of the collection, helping you find the perfect piece for your home or workplace.
