The Rug Maker's Daughter is a 1915 American silent adventure film directed by Oscar Apfel and written by Julia Crawford Ivers.

The film stars Maud Allan, Forrest Stanley, Jane Darwell, Howard Davies, Herbert Standing, and Laura Woods Cushing.

[3][4] As described in a film magazine,[5] while in Constantinople, Bob Van Buren comes to the rescue when Demetra, a upper-class young Turkish woman, and her duenna are waylaid by robbers, which paves the way for romance between them.

With the thought of such a highly educated, gifted with the needle, and graceful dancer ending up in a harem instead of a respectful home driving him to desperation, Bob convinces her to elope with him to New York City.

With her American vanished, and the day of her odious wedding to Osman approaching, Demetra flees with her duenna on the same boat that passage had been reserved, intending to reach a cousin in New York City.
