About Us
Traditional Turkish Arts (TTA)
Traditional Turkish Arts (TTA) is a London-based platform founded by marbling artist and lawyer Dilara Karaagac under Elm Art Investments in 2021. Established with the vision of bringing together master artists and authentic craftsmanship under one platform, TTA represents a carefully curated collective of artists specialising in Traditional Turkish and Turko-Islamic arts.
Working closely with artists from Turkey and the United Kingdom, TTA showcases a rich artistic heritage inspired by centuries of cultural exchange across Anatolia, Mesopotamia, the Bosporus, Rumelia, and the wider Islamic world. Our collection includes original Ebru (marbling), calligraphy, miniature painting, illumination, and decorative arts created by artists who have dedicated their lives to preserving these traditions.
Alongside individual collectors and art enthusiasts, TTA also works with museums, galleries, boutiques, interior designers, hotels, cultural institutions, and companies seeking distinctive handcrafted artworks and heritage-inspired designs. We provide both ready-made collections and bespoke production tailored to the needs of each project.
Our studio and artist network have the capacity to produce customised works for:
- Museum and gift shops
- Hotel and hospitality interiors
- Corporate gifts and employee appreciation pieces
- Retail collections and wholesale orders
- Tailor-made artworks for commercial and private spaces
- Special commissions and branded designs
Every piece is produced with authenticity, craftsmanship, and attention to detail using traditional techniques and high-quality materials. We believe traditional arts should not remain confined to museums or private collections, but continue to live within contemporary spaces and daily life.
At TTA, our purpose goes beyond commerce. We aim to preserve, promote, and make Traditional Turkish Arts accessible to wider audiences while supporting artists who continue these demanding art forms with dedication and mastery. We are also planning workshops and informative sessions in the upcoming months and rely on your support and participation. Our artists are also providing online classes or tutorials.
We welcome collaborations, wholesale enquiries, commissions, and creative partnerships worldwide.
