Handmade Rugs
Our handmade rugs are crafted using traditional weaving techniques passed down through generations. Sourced from Turkey, Afghanistan, and Persia, these rugs feature natural wool and vegetable dyes, ensuring durability and eco-friendliness. Each piece tells a story through intricate patterns and vibrant hues, perfect for adding warmth and character to any space.
Kilim Cushions
Repurposed from vintage kilims, our cushions combine sustainability with style. The flat-weave technique creates lightweight, durable covers ideal for both modern and traditional interiors. Each cushion retains unique imperfections from its original rug, offering one-of-a-kind decor accents that celebrate artisanal heritage.
Suzani Embroideries
Hand-embroidered Suzanis from Central Asia showcase bold geometric and floral motifs. These textiles serve as statement wall hangings or table coverings, blending cultural artistry with contemporary design. Our collection includes both antique and newly crafted pieces, each reflecting meticulous craftsmanship.
Rug Underlays
Our rug underlays enhance safety and longevity by preventing slippage and reducing wear. Designed to fit various rug types, these pads provide cushioning while maintaining floor protection. They are essential for preserving the condition of both your rug and underlying surfaces.
Vintage Textiles
We curate rare vintage textiles, including tribal garments and ceremonial pieces. These items offer historical insights and unique decorative possibilities, appealing to collectors and designers seeking authentic cultural artifacts. Each textile undergoes careful authentication to ensure provenance.

This week I bought a basic rag rug just to brighten up my kitchen. It arrived super quick, was so well packed that I could put it straight down rather than waiting for it to straighten out.The bright green colour is lovely and exactly as shown on the website. The quality is excellent. I shall certainly shop at Yashar Bish again. Thank you.

I bought an Afghan rug from Yashar Bish earlier this year. As I was very impressed by the quality of the rug and the service, I recently purchased another Afghan rug, this time a rather elegant Vegetable Dyed Kilim. The rug arrived at my house in Japan earlier this week and although it was posted by my family beforehand, it was securely wrapped up by Yashar Bish ready to go Now it brightens up the tatami-matted living room. Thank you so much.

Went to see if l could find a rug for my living room. Owner very helpful and l took one home to see if would look right. Unfortunately if was not quite right. Despite not buying a rug in the end l would still recommend a visit as they have a fantastic range to choose from.

Our living room is a completely different place since the arrival of your beautiful Kurdi Gouchan rug. The wonderful design and vibrant colours of this stunning Persian carpet has transformed the room. The smaller Senneh rug we also bought has had a similarly transformative effect on our hall. Your friendly help and advice during the selection and purchase process was absolutely invaluable. Thank you so much.

I have had my eye on this gorgeous shop ever since stumbling across it earlier this year. I finally brought a large carpet cushion and I am thrilled with my purchase. It is a beautiful and comfy addition to my home and I also love that it is unique. The service and contact from Yashar was also top notch. Thank you and I am now saving up for a rug!
