About Us
Hello, I'm Ensari Avcu, the founder of Bohem Rugs. My journey with handwoven rugs began on January 1, 2016, inspired by the beauty, history, and craftsmanship of vintage rugs.
I consider myself lucky as I learned from a rug expert with over 30 years of experience. This knowledge helped me understand the intricate art of weaving and the cultural stories that each handwoven rug tells. Over the last 8 years, I’ve been collecting and curating these unique vintage rugs from around the world.
Initially, I sold these carefully restored rugs to customers on Etsy. During that time, I worked with individual customers, wholesalers, and designers and gained a lot of experience.
My rugs attracted many customers. And that's why I decided to further pursue my passion in this field.
Finally, the time came and I launched my website—Bohem Rugs where I can connect and sell rugs directly to my customers.
My Rug Collection
▶ Turkish Rugs
Turkish Rugs are known for their rich history, unique designs, and use of natural materials like wool, silk, and cotton.
Each region—whether it’s Anatolia or Hereke—has its own signature look and story. Fun fact: Turkish rug weaving is recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage.
▶ Persian Rugs:
Famous for their detailed and artistic designs, Persian rugs are a significant part of Iranian culture. They’re made from high-quality wool, silk, or cotton and feature patterns inspired by nature and traditional Persian art.
Regions like Isfahan, Heriz, and Tabriz—each have their own unique style which makes Persian rugs some of the most admired in the world.
- My rug collection is sorted, so you can easily find rugs by size, like—Oversized Rugs, Large Rugs, Runner Rugs, Small Rugs, and Mini Rugs
- You can find rugs by their origin like—Turkish Rugs and Persian Rugs.
- Also, you can buy rugs by style, like—Oushak Rugs, Medallion Rugs, Neutral Rugs, Anatolian Rugs, and Colorful Rugs.
By offering these rugs, I aim to share their rich history with my customers, inviting them to be part of this journey.
What Sets Us Apart?
1) Authentic, Handwoven Rugs
Every rug you see here is handwoven and one-of-a-kind. No factory-made, mass-produced items—only genuine craftsmanship with true artistic value. Many come from centuries-old traditions, crafted by skilled artisans who have woven their history into every knot.
2) Personalized Care and Restoration
After acquiring the rugs, I meticulously clean them and, when necessary, I repair them to restore their former glory—before they go up for sale.
This means when you buy a rug from me, you find it in the best possible condition—a rug that is ready to bring warmth and character to your space. This process is not just about maintenance, I do this because I have deep respect for these art pieces.
3) Cultural Expertise
I don’t just sell rugs—I share stories. With every piece, I learn about its origins, and its cultural and historical significance. When you shop with Bohem Rugs, you’re receiving a rug that comes with its own story.
4) Sustainability and Tradition
Supporting traditional rug-making methods is super important to me. By sourcing handwoven rugs, I support artisans and help keep this age-old craft alive in a world full of mass production.
My Goal?
My goal is simple—to bring the rich history and cultural beauty of handwoven rugs to your home. Designer, collector, or someone who simply appreciates quality decor—whoever you are, I’m here to help you find the perfect home decor rug that tells a story and can make your space feel special.
If you ever have questions or need help, please reach out—I’m always here to make your shopping experience enjoyable.
Take care,
Ensari
