Asad reproduction of sixteenth century Western Anatolian carpet with animal figures, using handspun wool, mixed with 15% mohair, and dyed with pure vegetable colours. A video record of Swedish designer, Agneta Svensk's work through the seasons with the Asad Company in Turkey. The colours are sublime and deeply saturated, and reflect the clarity, and expertise of Asad, that has won them the custom of important and exacting clients, both professional and private.'
In this carpet the borders reveal the care that has been taken, where one can see that kufesque elements in the main border are fully formed in much the same way that the yellow forms in the minor borders are fully articulated.'

Services
Carpet making is one of the most complex and refined crafts.
Attaining the delicate balance necessary to harmonise materials with technique, design and colour, requires extraordinary sensitivity, and Asad Carpets manages to achieve this, after decades of committment to the art, and a deep understanding of antique carpet production.
Our clients include great houses, palaces, castles, and manor homes across Europe; governments, museums and institutions in the US, and the Gulf.
They include the National Trust in the UK, and historic house associations throughout Europe, Le Louvre in Paris, Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm, Italia Nostra in Italy, royal palaces in Qatar, the Houses of Parliament, government buildings in Washington, Oxford University, etc.

With our own dye-works, wash-house, design studio, wool and silk buyers, not to forget the weaving families with whom we have worked for so long, we are a close-knit team.
Our choice has been to build a small company, (rather than a big one) where close contact with, and support for, the weavers, their husbands and families, has meant that we maintain solidarity and, crucially, quality control.
Our work is made-to-measure.
We have spent 25 years developing and refining the techniques, the materials, the know-how, and the sensitivity to make and produce carpets and kelims to an exceedingly high standard, and - just as importantly - to each individual customer's specification.
