Company History

Emerging in 1968, the Amatullis revitalized Turkey's rug industry through the efforts of a strong partnership with Arslan Kontente in the Turkish-American Company (Turamco). During the 20 years of manufacturing in Turkey integrated with wholesaling and retailing in the United States, the firm became the premiere wholesale source for Turkish rugs, importing more than 80% of all Turkish rugs into the during this time.

An 18 time winner of the Turkish Gold Medal for Exports, and importer of more than 80,000 Turkish rugs into the United States, the business eventually expanded to include exquisite works from Iran (Persia), Central Asia, South Asia, East Asia and Egypt.  In 1985 furniture was added to the repertoire, imported directly from France, England, and Asia, along with collections from domestic sources in the Americas.

Over the last decade Amatulli has transitioned to focus exclusively on the most important new and antique rugs with a compliment of equally fine hand crafted furniture. This direction allows the company to rise above the din of pedestrian floor covering and home goods providers to furnish with the quality, service, and integrity reserved for a discriminating clientele.
