Istanbul Rug Bazaar is a local business that has been serving customers for more than 20 years at its location on NW 23rd Avenue in Portland. We migrated to Portland from our homeland of Anatolia, Turkey. Babik (pronounced "baw-bik") is the ancient name of our homeland-located in the Kurdish region of Anatolia-referring to "land of Grandfather."
Babik is a town with many sheep farmers, the sheep's wool has supported our family for thousands of years. Because sheep are such a vital part of our family's well-being, they are treated with much respect and raised naturally on organic farms. The beautiful carpets and kilims from nearby regions are woven with symbols that tell tales and histories of people.
These bring back memories of home, where weavers like my mother and grandmother put their heart into their work, and their works of art adorned each room. My most treasured memories are of family gatherings for dinner around the hand-woven sofra. We offer off-street parking at our store on NW 23rd Avenue-visit us and browse our wonderful rugs for yourself.

Report
All of our rugs are hand-woven of pure, hand-spun wool, cotton, or silk; none are made by machine or of synthetic materials. Each piece is authentic, from its original region, and not an imitation. As a result, each is a unique, or one-of-a-kind collectible. None of our rugs are made by child labor.
Benefits
Report
You'll love wool rugs for your health! Pure, hand-spun wool is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and deters bacterial growth, which is beneficial for asthma and allergy sufferers. Dust mites cannot thrive in the sheep's wool fibers, because the lanolin repels them. A pure wool rug does not attract mold or mildew because wool releases the moisture it attracts back into the air, making it homeostatic and reducing static electricity.
