ARARAT CULTURE

Our Culture

We know and believe that the geography we come from, our past, and our lifestyle are the most important bond between us to carry the oriental carpet art and culture to the next generations along with our core values in our ongoing growth journey.

We know that achieving this goal and carrying this priceless art and culture to the future depends on a lot of work with all our people every day while adhering to our core values.

Values

Carrying Culture to the Future

For us, art is meaningful in the sense that it brings together various cultures around the world. It is an honor that oriental carpet art and culture have been instrumental in this for centuries and that we are a part of this business.

A rug is not merely a decorative object — it is a medium connecting people, places, history, and memory. That is why we believe we must carefully preserve and pass on not just the works themselves, but the cultural meaning behind them.

A Culture of Study and Self-Improvement

We are tirelessly monitoring auction house information about carpets around the world. New York's Metropolitan, London's Victoria & Albert Museums, other famous art museums, small specialized museums that house private collections and books about oriental carpets — all to collect information on outstanding carpet designs and patterns worldwide.

It is our Self-improving and Self-developing culture — learning from the finest historical works while constantly reflecting on what to preserve and how to apply it in the present.

Multicultural Background

Values We Have Inherited

The Turkish Culture of Hospitality, the Kurdish Culture of Generosity, and the Japanese Culture of Business Punctuality are the most important values this multicultural background taught and bequeathed to us.

It is essential and valuable for us that you feel this feeling not only by looking at our oriental carpets but from the moment you contact us. Quality shows not only in the work, but in every interaction and every promise kept.

Rugs That Live With You

We treasure the interior photos and everyday scenes shared by our customers. A rug does not finish the moment it leaves the workshop — it begins its true story when it is used in someone's space and accumulates time and life.

Seeing our works in your homes brings us great joy. It shows that the piece has been welcomed not as a commodity but as part of daily life.
