Recently, we have had two significant developments. To expand our business, we have moved from Lexington Avenue to Long Island City. In addition to our over half-a-century of combined expertise in repairing antique and semi-antique Oriental rugs and European tapestries, we now have increased our capacity of hand-washing and repairing them at our new location.
Undoubtedly, your precious hand-woven rugs must receive the utmost in expert cleaning and repair services to maintain their beauty and integrity for generations. We are committed to providing you with the same meticulous service as we have provided to several museums, an auction house, and many collectors. Building long-term business relationships with our clients is the most important aspect of our mission.
As for our second important update, we have significantly increased our collection of fine antique and semi-antique rugs through our recent acquisitions from overseas. We are now compelled to share our excitement of owning this exquisite collection with our valued clientele.
Please do not hesitate to contact us, either by e-mail: info@hayko.com, or by calling 212.717.5400, if we can be of assistance to you. We will be delighted to hear from you if we can be of help..

I Heart Feng Shui: An Ancien Wonderland

An Ancient Wonderland





A wonderful client and entrepreneur, Hayko

When I walked into Hayko Fine Rug and Tapestries on the Upper East Side this summer, I was transported instantly to Istanbul. Ok, I have never been there, but it's what I imagined it to be. I was honored to be called in for a feng shui consultation by Hayko Oltaci, owner of this magical store. Hayko and I discussed what he was trying to achieve and together we used this information and various feng shui adjustments to help enhance his business.





Believe it or not, this respite is right in the middle of New York City!
Many people usually ask me, "Is it ok to have old things in my home?" My answer to will vary according to what the person is referring to. If the objects in question are things left over from exes that make you cringe each time you look at it, I'd say better to get rid of them! But, if it's something that is infused with beautiful energy and brings you joy each time you see it, like one of Hayko's rugs, I would say cherish it and if possible, highlight it by putting it somewhere in your space where you see it all the time. This way you'll lift your chi each time you see it.
Get a glimpse of this talented man and his exquisite products and services in this video:

Glorious. That is all I can say about the results of his hard work. If you are in the market for a fine rug, a rug weaving class or just haven't had time to take a vacation, go visit Hayko's store and have a cup of hot tea with him in the cafe. You too will be transported and well-taken care of.

While Construction is in process

My dear Friends, 

You may have noticed the unattractive and unappealing look next door to my shop. The corner of Lexington Ave and 65th Street has been unsettled for quite some time. As this situation has been going on for almost year and a half, I am afraid that the image of my shop looked very uninviting to my loyal customers.











Well, finally there is some change and as the sign on the board notes, the contraction and clean up of the site will be completed by December 31, 2011. It is a big relief for my workers and I, as the look of this site has been affecting negatively on my business. I would like to invite and encourage you to visit my shop during the construction of the next door building. Come and see the new additions to my collection of oriental and antique rugs, kilims, runners and pillows. When you find something that you would love, we will offer you a one week free trial at home. We will deliver and pick up the chosen item for free even if you decide not to keep that original unique piece.












Please tell your friends and their families about my shop. They may want to redesign their living rooms or maybe they have moved to another living space. Your recommendation or suggestion to your friends and others will be very valuable and important for my business.


As my friendly e-mail comes to the end, I would like to thank you once again for your patronage and support. Please call me at (212) 717-5400 or e-mail me at info@hayko.com. I hope to hear from you soon and looking forward seeing you here in my shop.


Regards,
