PROTOCOL CARPET

What is a Protocol Carpet?

With many years of experience in the carpet industry and the strong references we’ve gained from our valued customers, we continue to move forward and offer you the most elegant protocol carpets for your special occasions.

Protocol carpets have been used for centuries to designate privileged spaces and to honor special individuals or groups. These striking carpets, indispensable for prestigious receptions, have documented usage dating back to the 1800s. Their historical roots can even be traced back to Roman and Byzantine times. Over the years, they have become a symbolic element of social and cultural life, with red being the most frequently chosen color.

From art world awards to grand receptions, private celebrations to state visits, protocol carpets are laid on entryways where guests walk, creating a dignified and welcoming atmosphere.

Common Occasions for Use:

• Grand Celebrations

• Opening Ceremonies

• State Protocol Events

• Official Visits

• Galas

• Farewell Ceremonies

• Welcome Receptions

Throughout history, from British queens to French emperors, many prominent figures have walked on protocol carpets laid along their routes during public visits. These carpets, which began to spread globally in the late 19th century, have become an essential part of ceremonies and high-profile events. Today, protocol carpets are especially common in government receptions and official delegations, often stretching from aircraft stairs to protocol lounges in airports. There is no standard length, as the carpet is laid based on the required walking path.

Where Are Protocol Carpets Used?

As a pioneer in protocol carpet manufacturing, our company continues to serve you with expert staff and high-tech production facilities. Frequently used in the reception of state officials and guests, protocol carpets are now seen as a fundamental decorative element in high-level and prestigious meetings.

These carpets are laid as a symbol of respect during international diplomatic receptions, especially to honor the guests of a host country. Regularly used in official meetings, summits, ceremonies, and processions, protocol carpets are a staple where presidents, ministers, or parliamentary members are expected to attend.

Initially used only for state ceremonies, protocol carpets are now commonly used in a variety of events, including:

• Engagement Ceremonies

• Bridal Walkways

• Cocktail Receptions

• Executive Office Carpets

• Wedding Celebrations

• Product Launches

• Ballroom Parties

They’re often accompanied by additional elements such as protocol runners, stair carpets, or custom podium carpets, which further emphasize the prestige and elegance of the event.

Colors and Cultural Significance

Protocol carpets stand out with their distinctive colors, often chosen according to the traditions of the hosting party and the importance of the guests. Red, burgundy, yellow, and turquoise are the most popular options. In Turkey, turquoise protocol carpets have recently become a symbol of national tradition. While red and burgundy remain classic choices, the Presidential Reception Committee of Turkey frequently uses turquoise for high-level official visits, underlining the ceremonial importance and national identity of the event.

Thanks to their thick and soft structure, protocol carpets not only enhance the atmosphere but also underline the gravity and formality of the occasion. The term protocol carpet itself comes from this specific, honorable use.

Additional Areas of Use:

• Podium Carpets

• Concerts and Receptions

• Corporate Events

• Exhibition and Author Areas

• Gala Nights and Award Ceremonies

• Venue Launches

How to Order a Protocol Carpet?

Before purchasing a protocol carpet, it is crucial to work with an experienced and referenced supplier. Factors such as length, structure, and intended use should be clearly defined. After a detailed consultation, the company will provide a quote and proceed based on your approval.

Although dimensions and colors may vary, protocol carpets typically feature a solid single color with minimal or no patterns. In some models, you may find small decorative motifs along the edges. In Turkey, red and turquoise carpets are the most popular choices and attract significant attention.
