Woven
History opened its doors on December 1, 1995 at 311 7th Street,
SE, next to the historic Eastern Market, seven blocks from the US
Capitol. Mehmet Yalcin, the proprietor, had been selling at the
Eastern Market since 1986. After purchasing the next two row houses
in November 1997, Woven History moved into the newly purchased building
on 313-315 7th Street, SE and 311 7th Street was then converted
into what is now the Silk Road, which completes Woven History as
the gift shop offering tribal and village arts, gifts, antiques,
jewelry and furniture from every country along the fabled Silk Road.
Our aim is to provide the finest quality tribal, village
and urban carpets at the best possible prices.
We periodically organize events, such as our “Concerts on
the Hill Series,” when we invite musicians from along the
Silk Road to perform at Woven History & Silk Road.
