Sourced with Integrity
For generations young women in nomadic tents, mountain villages and city workshops have been hand weaving one-of-kind rugs, kilims and intricate textiles using local hand spun wools, natural dyes and a symbolism that is both ancient and personal.
An individual rug or kilim could take years to weave and each have specific sizes, colors and designs that reflect the historic traditions and cultural identity of the weaver as well as their distinct village or tribe.To learn more and to help with your choices see my..
Just over a decade ago hand woven rugs were found only in dedicated galleries or you purchased one or two overseas as your ultimate travel treasure! Today you find rugs & kilims everywhere, from department stores to social media sites. The quality and authenticity varies enormously, from authentic hand woven originals to cheap synthetic machine made copies that can look very much like the real thing.
Integrity is the cornerstone of my business and I wholeheartedly believe in supporting weaving traditions as well as the weavers who create the beautifulhandmade rugs and kilims in my collections. Explore our extensive range of hand picked rugs. A curated collection of rugs with diverse style that spans the great weaving centres and artisans of the world. Each piece is selected for its authenticity and intrinsic value.

Ruth Lockwood of Tribal Collections is one of Cappadocia’s very best carpet dealers. I have known her for over twenty years.“I love my work” she often says, and her shop (it’s really a gallery) makes that obvious. I think of her as an art dealer, art for the floor - and much else. My favourite purchase is a century old nomadic blanket that is sensationally good in quality, condition, design and colour harmony. Not surprisingly she is a dedicated advocate for the artistry and talent of generations of traditional women weavers. Her selection of high quality carpets is truly remarkable which is the result of her own skill and depth of knowledge and also of her outstanding network of suppliers, Turkish and international. Ruth is one of the most respectful and personable dealers you will encounter, a mentor by nature. No trip to Göreme is complete without a stopover at Tribal Collections.
Let Us Be Your Rug Buying Guides
How do you make sure you're getting the real thing?
Always look for trusted and recommended rug professionals - they will generally be more interested in finding the right rug for you than making a quick sale. Tribal Collections gallery offers not only rug sales, but restoration/repair, rug cleaning, and certificates of authenticity for each rug.
“Ironically, good quality handmade rugs that last for generations can be a similar price, or in some cases cheaper than lesser quality ‘on trend’ rugs being sold on social media or in mainstream home decor stores”
—Ruth, Owner, Tribal Collections
