The Layered Home: 5 Ways to Rethink Floor Rugs and Wall Tapestries
The real spatial dimension does not get painted, it gets woven. Begin with hanging a piece such as Signed Vintage Lia Cook Tapestry slightly off-center on one of your main walls. Its intricate Jacquard weave and the friction created between its rayon and linen fibers will require a lot of breathing room, immediately establishing a gravitational pull of the whole room. But to balance this vertical tension, the ground beneath your feet needs to become much more rigorous. With the use of a rigorously beaten warp-faced plane such as cotton Indian Dhurrie or Antique Swedish Röllakan's interlocking tapestry weave, you create a flat but structurally resistant base. A ground made from a rigidly woven material needs to be challenged. The last textural transition will come from placing a Vintage Frazada Kilim with heavy weft interlace across your warp-faced plane. The act of overlapping your heavy weft on a rigorously

The Future of High-End Interior Design in the Age of Global Tariffs: Rugs, Trade Routes, and Regulation
As seen in Galerie Magazine, the 2026 Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach features a rare and exceptional curation from the antique rugs in Rug & Kilim’s European Collection. Read More >> Design, at its highest level, has always preferred to appear untouched by politics. A room in the Hamptons. An apartment overlooking Central Park. A villa along the French Riviera. These spaces present themselves as resolved worlds; self-contained, insulated from the volatility of markets, policy, and power. And yet, over the past year, something unusual occurred. Tariffs, as abstract instruments of economic policy, began to leave visible traces within interiors. Not dramatically, not theatrically, but with the quiet persistence of something structural. Lead times shifted. sourcing recalibrated. Materials reconsidered. Conversations that were once aesthetic became quietly strategic.

How Tariffs Are Shaping the Future of Modern and Antique Rugs in the United States
A rug is rarely just a rug in the quiet luxury of a gallery showroom or the curated intimacy of a collector’s salon. It is a world unfurled — created with centuries of ritual, memory, and meaning. Yet, beyond the weaving process lies a less visible thread that increasingly shapes what reaches the American floor: policy. As U.S. tariff regulations grow more complex and geopolitically charged, the fate of both modern and antique rugs has become entangled in a matrix of international trade, cultural diplomacy, and economic strategy. Evolving trade tariffs are reweaving the global rug market — influencing not only pricing and availability but also sourcing decisions, artisan livelihoods, and the long-term legacy of one of the world's most enduring forms of cultural expression. For interior designers, collectors, curators, and cultural economists, the conversation is no longer just about taste — it’s also about trade.

Cyrus Nazmiyal and the Renaissance of Rug & Kilim: Inside the Legacy and Vision
“A rug,” Cyrus Nazmiyal muses, “isn’t merely woven—it’s whispered into being.” We are seated in a quiet, sun-dappled corner of Rug & Kilim’s New York atelier, where the scent of dyed wool hangs like an incense of memory. Cyrus, the Vice President of Rug & Kilim, does not speak like a typical executive. His words don’t pitch or persuade—they unfold, like the intricate patterns underfoot, revealing layers of legacy, conviction, and kinship. It is not just a business. It is not just a rug. It is inheritance made tangible. It is beauty you can walk upon. A Business Everyone Warned Him AgainstYet, the path less woven became his legacy in silk and soul. Cyrus did not arrive here by the straightest path. In fact, he was warned not to. “Everyone said, don’t get into rugs. Don’t even bother, maybe real estate is for you. Too hard. Too uncertain,” he recalls with a soft laugh. Fresh out of college, he went into private equity and business management—linear, lucrative, logical. But it didn’t quite echo.

A Guide to History and Significance of Chinese and Tibetan Dragon Pictorial Rugs
Dragon, as the perfect representation of cyclical nature of life, where from every end, a new beginning emerges, is also a perfect marriage of Chinese spiritual heritage and art. Our special dragon rugs’ line is a commemoration of the spirit of the Chinese dragon, wherein each rug complements the other in the collection and reflects continuity of age-old designs and transformations in our modern touch to these pictorial rugs. At the same time, dragons, or Chinese traditional designs at large, also represent a commitment to regenerative and cyclical nature of life—thus birthing the modern concept of sustainability.
