halıthe Turkish word for carpet or rug for over 1,000 years Turkish, Ottomancarpet.

The world leader in its field, HALI — the name means carpet in Turkish — is the glue that holds the international rug and textile art market together. It is an international quarterly magazine of exceptional style, brimming with information; essential reading for the amateur and the connoisseur alike.

The benchmark against which all other art publications measure their quality.

Within the field

The single most influential force within its constituency.

Unlike other art and antiques publications, HALI is not one of several voices — it is the single most influential force within its specialised constituency. The magazine plays a pivotal role in the field of carpets and textiles, leading trends, tastes and opinions.

It promotes the business, too, through the comprehensive nature of its editorial coverage — the kind of attention that, once given, fixes a piece, a maker, a dealer or a private collection inside the field’s working memory.
