Historic Handicrafts of Gaziantep

Gaziantep, as one of the oldest settlements in Anatolia, has been home to handicraft traditions spanning thousands of years. In this ancient city, arts such as copperwork, silverwork, carpet weaving, and mother-of-pearl inlay have been passed down from generation to generation to the present day.

The art of copperwork is one of Gaziantep's most deep-rooted handicrafts. Copper vessels shaped by master hands are indispensable parts of homes, both for daily use and as decorative items. Each copper piece is a work of art created by the artist with years of experience and patience.

Silverwork is also one of the city's important arts. Silver, especially used in jewelry making, is an art that requires fine craftsmanship. Gaziantep's silver masters create unique works by blending traditional motifs with modern designs.

At Aynur Hanım Konağı, you can find traces of these valuable arts in our rooms. Each room is designed with inspiration from a different handicraft, offering our guests the opportunity to experience this rich cultural heritage.
