A Journey Woven in Wool and Time

I studied mechanical engineering — drawn to precision, structure, and the logic of design. But it was in antique rugs that I discovered another kind of engineering: one made of color, rhythm, and patience.
What began as a fascination for tribal and Caucasian rugs grew into a lifelong devotion to understanding them — not only as objects of beauty but as living records of culture and craft.

Each rug I encounter carries a pulse. It speaks in geometry, in the uneven breath of hand-spun wool, in the language of natural dyes that fade yet never die. Over the years, I’ve learned to listen — and to answer — through restoration.

Restoration as Dialogue

Restoration, for me, is not about perfection. It is about respect. Each repair is a conversation with the weaver who came before me — an effort to preserve their intention while reviving the life that time has dimmed.

I work with natural-dyed wool that I dye myself, matching age, tone, and character so that the new threads blend seamlessly with the old. The goal is not to erase history but to let the rug continue its story with grace and integrity.

Where Science Meets Craft

My background in engineering informs my process. I approach each rug as a structure — a system of tension, pattern, and symmetry.
But science alone is not enough. The art lies in intuition: knowing when to intervene, and when to let a faded motif or irregular knot remain as a trace of the human hand.

Each project is an act of preservation, patience, and quiet discovery.

Woven Treasures was born from this journey — a gallery and workshop dedicated to the art of antique rugs.
Here, every piece is handpicked for its character and restored with the belief that beauty lives not in flawlessness, but in endurance.

Every rug I restore carries the memory of its weaver, the mark of time, and the renewed breath of color — so its story can continue.
