Peter Linden
PETER LINDEN - Ireland's leading dealer in Old & Antique rugs, carpets, runners, kilims, tribal weavings, Uzbek Suzanis and period European tapestries. Also a leading dealer within the DOBAG project with substantial stock at any time. Finally we do a number of other modern rugs like Zollanvari Gabbehs, Egyptian "Zieglers" and Khan Mohamadi Afghan rugs from Peshawar, Pakistan.

All our pieces must have stable dyes, preferably all natural. We avoid big production lines and excessively "antique washed" pieces. No painted rugs, rugs with cut-and-shut reductions, really only in mint condition if we can help it.

Finally we do in-house washing and restoration.

Please note that we have a time difference with the USA of 7 h East coast and 10 h West coast. The company is registered with the Chamber of Trade and Commerce in Kayseri, with the Tax Office Erciyes in Kayseri and with the Turkish Exporters Federation. Documents can be presented upon request. Founded in 1997 by myself. I have a partner who joined me in 1998, Mrs. Gulistan Belli. We are dealing only with Turkish rugs and Kelims. The rugs and Kelims are new or used ones. I am not dealing with antiques, but with old rugs and Kelims. The provenance of the rugs and Kelims are Kayseri, Yahyali, Taspinar, Konya, Sultanhani, Milas, Malatya, in short: all over Turkey. We also have the manufactured Kars type rugs which appeal to a lot of customers due to their pastel hues and bold designs. I can call myself a specialist in the Nomad rugs, the so called "Yoruks". I do not deal with silk rugs, but with silk Kelims. However, I know some good silk rug dealers.

JBOC Note: I was rather surprised when I followed the Sefes link and found a furniture manufacturer. I thought my old friend had lost her site but when I started digging I discovered that Mrs.Safak Civici is a great success and is one of Turkey's leading women entrepreneurs. Here is a link to a German TV story on her.

JBOC: I got the following from an old and trusted friend; "I have a personal favor to ask. There is an old, dear friend here in Istanbul, an honest (honest!) and honorable dealer who very much deserves to be on your dealer list. I don't know why I have not suggested this before, but I know that others on your list can also vouch for him. He has worked with many Americans over the years - (4 dealers on my list), etc. It would be a great thrill for him to be included among your other dealers. We were looking at your site yesterday and he became a bit sad that he was not listed. I told him I would ask, on his behalf. His heart and his intentions are as clean as they come. He sells on rug rabbit and is finishing a website very soon, within days. His name is Necati Kokoglu, and he works with his brother, Ahmet. They have helped me and my all friends whom I have sent to him, so much. They are my dear friends, and would be indebted to you forever if they were to see their business listed on spongobongo. I guarantee their character.
