Today we talk to our special guest Gady Yesil, the owner and creator of Orientalist Home, where they bring more than 25 years of passion and experience in fine rugs and textiles. They travel around the world, collecting exotic, traditional, and modern handmade pieces and bring to the market the latest designs and color trends. We’re going to discuss vintage rugs and all things rugs, such as hand knotted rugs, different materials, why rugs are so valuable, what makes them last longer, and lots of wonderful questions we ask from a lot of our listeners and even questions we have for Gady as well.

“They sleep on the rugs at night, so the snake doesn’t like the feeling of that goat hair because it’s itchy. They use goat hair as a binding so the snake doesn’t go over the carpet. You see how smart they are? It’s unbelievable. They found that technique and they protect themselves.” 25:52
