WORKSHOP

Adnan Aydin, the founder of Gallery Aydin, started his career in 1989, as an antique rug and textile restorer. In the late 90’s the Gallery Aydin was established and evolved into one of the largest rug businesses in Turkey - recently re-forming as "A & D Gallery". As of today, the business is like a family consisting of 22 people who have been working together for years, specializing in the restoration of antique rugs and textiles. Through our expert team, we provide restoration and conservation services to individuals, collectors and galleries enabling carpet and textile artworks to be safely preserved and displayed. Visits to our restoration workshops can be arranged for interested parties.
