HISTORY

Nazif Kıymaz is the founder of Sherbetchi Carpet & Rug, His father, Abdurrahman Kıymaz, the founder of Şirvan Halı was born in Adıyaman province of Turkey, in 1932. He has left his home city for rug trading in 1948, and started selling rugs at Istanbul Kapalicarsi in 1967. He opened the first authentic Anatolian rug store in Kadıköy, one of Istanbul’s favorite neighborhoods, in 1978.

Even though the shop was a novelty in those times, in a short period of time it became an address that many people from different neighborhoods and cities come to visit and buy rugs from. In 1984, Abdurrahman Kiymaz left the store’s management to his sons, Nazif Kiymaz and Orhan Kiymaz, who have continued to follow in his footsteps. They have continued to a determined, honest and successful trade life, filled with treasurable rugs and kilims. Sirvan Halı has succeeded in ensuring that traditional Anatolian designs and rugs, previously solely bought by tourists, were accepted and enjoyed by the locals alike. Now Anatolian rugs, in their various forms, are accepted as the major stock items in nearly all rug stores. We believe that we have served the Anatolian rug business through our pioneering approach.

Of course, we continue to carry pieces from classical designs. Furthermore, since last 15 years, we have been carrying imported rug and kilim varieties. In addition, we are able to find solutions to all your rug and kilim-related problems professionally. We fix the tassels of the rugs, and also provide repairs on other parts of the rugs. We look at old rugs, value them and exchange them, as well as giving a washing service.
