A Guide to Axminster Rugs: History, Craftsmanship, and British Design Heritage
Among the most influential carpet traditions to emerge from Europe, Axminster rugs occupy a distinguished position within the history of decorative arts, architecture, and interior design. Renowned for their exceptional craftsmanship, technical innovation, and artistic sophistication, Axminster carpets represent one of Britain's most important contributions to the global history of textile design. Originating in the historic market town of Axminster in Devon, England, these carpets became synonymous with luxury, refinement, and excellence from the eighteenth century onward. Their influence extended far beyond Britain, shaping carpet production, interior decoration, and architectural furnishing throughout Europe, North America, and the wider world.
Read the FeatureThe Art of Bespoke Design by Rug & Kilim: How a Painting, a Fabric, or a Fragment Becomes a Custom Rug
Every custom rug begins with a question that sounds simple and is not: what does this room want to stand on? The answer, in the finest commissions, rarely arrives as a specification. It arrives as an object. A client brings in a painting they have loved for thirty years. A designer adores a length of antique silk, or lays down a sample of a document fabric, or produces a photograph of a fresco glimpsed on a wall in Ravenna. The brief is a feeling, held in another medium, waiting to be carried into wool or silk or sometimes, exotic fibres. This act of carrying is the true art of the custom rug, and it is far older and more serious than the word “custom” suggests. It is translation, in the fullest literary sense: the movement of meaning from one language into another, with everything gained and lost that translation implies. It is also, increasingly, the way the most celebrated interiors in the world are made. When AD100 designer Heidi Caillier needed flatweaves for a coastal retreat, when Fawn Galli reimagined a historic Beaux-Arts townhouse on the Upper West Side, when a Jacques Grange penthouse called for a hand-knotted silk carpet, the floor did not come off a shelf. It was translated into being, object by object, idea by idea.
Read the FeatureUnderstanding Art Deco Rugs: Modernism, Luxury, and Timeless Style
Few rug styles have influenced twentieth-century interior design as profoundly as Art Deco rugs. Emerging during one of the most transformative periods in modern cultural history, these carpets embodied the optimism, innovation, and cosmopolitan sophistication that defined the Art Deco movement. More than decorative floor coverings, Art Deco rugs became expressions of a new visual language—one rooted in modernity, luxury, architecture, and artistic experimentation. Unlike traditional Persian carpets that emphasized centuries-old motifs and weaving conventions, Art Deco rugs embraced a distinctly modern perspective. Their compositions drew inspiration from architecture, industrial design, fine art, fashion, travel, and technological progress. The result was a new generation of carpets that transformed the role of textiles within contemporary interiors.
Read the FeatureNavajo Rugs: History, Art, Design & the Legacy of Diné Weaving
Navajo rugs occupy a singular position within the history of American textile art. Woven by Diné artists across the American Southwest, these textiles represent far more than a regional decorative tradition. They embody generations of knowledge surrounding sheep, wool, spinning, natural materials, color, geometry, landscape, community, and cultural continuity. From nineteenth-century blankets to the celebrated regional rugs of the early twentieth century—and from Two Grey Hills and Ganado to sophisticated contemporary works—Navajo weaving has continually demonstrated the ability of textile art to function simultaneously as cultural expression, design, craftsmanship, and fine art.
Read the FeatureWhat Makes Qashqai Kilims Unique? Inside the World of Persian Tribal Rugs and Flatweaves
As seen in Domino Magazine, featuring our Kilim rug, designed by Los Angeles design firm A1000XBetter, founded by Kirsten Blazek. Over the last four decades of collecting, studying, and preserving Kilims and Flatweaves, we have come to understand them not simply as tribal textiles, especially Qashqai kilims, which are documents authored by women whose names we will never know, yet whose design decisions resonate across centuries. Every kilim in a collection is a fragment of a larger ethnographic narrative of movement, negotiation, and encoded survival. What begins as a study in tribal design inevitably becomes a reflection on how memory operates in material form. As collectors and custodians, we have come to understand these pieces less as possessions and more as conversations—between past and present, utility and abstraction, territory and transcendence. They speak to the same values that define the most forward-thinking design philosophies: sustainability, material honesty, visual intelligence, and narrative depth.
