We received our patchwork Kilim and are very happy with it. Thank you Ida for all your help & suggestions in choosing this custom rug. I can truly say I have never had better service for any company - EVER! My emails were answered daily with such patience. And it was exciting to watch the delivery process through UPS global, as the rug traveled from Istanbul to California.Your gift was very much appreciated. AAAAA!!!

We are very proud to be the owners of this lovely work of art and are sure that it will become a treasured heirloom in years to come.

I also want to express our gratitude to Selin Damar who was very responsive to our email inquiries regarding the delivery of our rug.
