COMPANY PHILOSOPHY Rugs restored by Hayko are on display in galleries and auction houses throughout the world, yet you cannot see his work. Top-quality restoration is invisible. Hayko Oltaci’s interest in carpets started at age 16. He perfected his craft in Europe before opening his own company in New York. Hayko and his skilled restorers serve a discerning private clientele as well as museums & galleries.

Visit his atelier, examine his restorations, and see his private collection of unique tribal and antique rugs as well as kilims, which can be purchased. Enjoy Hayko’s hospitality, just don’t spill the coffee.

The Ancient Art of Rug Weaving

The purpose of this group is to promote the ancient art of rug weaving in the greater NY area.
