At Kerim Sefer's shops you will find the finest in carpets and kilims, a collection built up by an expert over many years. Each piece is a work of art and can only augment and enrich the home of the connoisseur.

Kerim Sefer is an acknowledged expert in all fields related to the history, design, manufacture and sale of carpets and kilims. The son of a carpet seller, Kerim grew up surrounded by the sights and smells that will greet you in his shops and his choice of profession was unsurprising. He has always been associated with the Ministry of Cultures efforts to preserve and promote the work of carpet weavers and was closely involved with the production of high quality carpets for the Dostim chain of government owned shops.

Over a period of decades he has amassed a collection of national importance and this is reinforced by the inclusion of 60 of his pieces in the Ministry of Culture's catalogues.

Now you'll find him sitting at his desk in his beautifully appointed showroom in the historic Atpazari district of Ankara, Turkey's capital city and home to the Museum of Anatolian Civilisation (which you can see through Kerim's windows).
