Rug & Kilim’s Modern Classics Rug in Beige-Brown with Medallions and Florals

Hand-knotted in wool, this 13x9 modern classics rug from Turkey features beige-brown and taupe tones underscore an almost abstract design, inspired by old-world medallions, geometric tribal motifs, and floral patterns of antique and vintage rugs and Kilims. On the Design: One fundamental idea that our Principal Jahanshah Nazmiyal has long taught to his colleagues and teammates is that the best handmade modern rugs are made after one masters the classics. One such masterpiece is this modern classic rug which draws inspiration from old-world medallions, tribal motifs and floral patterns. Admirers of the craft will note the impressionistic new take on a shabby-chic, classic sensibility in such cool, fresh modern colors. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—both a masterpiece and a true collector’s rug, teeming with history and culture. Custom Capable: All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote.

"It's rare to find a rug company that offers unique antiques, curated with a historical eye. And the best quality customization for anything you might need. All while being treated like family - love those guys."

— Andre Mellone, Studio Mellone

The Total Art: Vienna’s Century, From the Gold Frieze to the Contemporary Era

In the dining room of a banker's house in Brussels there is a wall of gold. Klimt designed it; the Stoclet Frieze, a tree of life branching across marble and enamel and coral, a dancer on one side and an embracing couple on the other, the couple a direct rehearsal for the painting the whole world would later know as The Kiss. But to stand in that room, were one ever permitted to, is to understand that the frieze is not the point of it. The point is that the frieze, the marble, the cutlery, the door handles, and the carpet underfoot were all conceived as a single object by a single mind. The Palais Stoclet, built by Josef Hoffmann between 1905 and 1911 and now sealed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the most complete surviving statement of the idea that organised an entire Viennese century: the Gesamtkunstwerk, the total work of art, in which nothing; not the spoon, not the dress, not the floor, ranks below the painting on the wall.

Zeki Müren and the Carpet as Self-Portrait: The Pasha Who Designed His Own Floor

In the showroom of Hüseyin Kaplan, in the Sultanahmet quarter of Istanbul beneath the minarets of the old city, there are more than five hundred carpets that belong to no classical category. They are not Hereke, not Oushak, not the courtly Ottoman medallion weavings that the connoisseur expects from this geography. They are jewel-toned and abstract, shot through with an abstract confidence, and they bear, some of them, the signed ones, a name woven into the border that any Turk and most serious collectors would recognise instantly. They are the work of Zeki Müren, and they constitute one of the most singular bodies of design the twentieth-century carpet has produced.

Deventer, KVT and the Dutch Carpet: The Workshop that Wove for Royalty

The Dutch did not look abroad for the floors of their palaces. This is a small fact with large implications. When the courts of Europe sent to Aubusson and Savonnerie for their carpets, when the very word Smyrna on a label conferred the authority of the East, the House of Orange laid beneath its ceremonial rooms a carpet woven in a river town in the eastern Netherlands, at a factory that had, with a confidence bordering on provocation, named its own street after Smyrna itself. Smyrnastraat, in Deventer. The address of the Koninklijke Vereenigde Tapijtfabrieken, and a declaration of standing made in cobblestone.

Rug & Kilim’s Tapestry Artists’ Series: In Dialogue with Joanne Soroka

There are artists who weave cloth and the ones who weave ideas. And then there are artists; rare, serious, working at a register that most practitioners of any medium never reach, who weave lives. Not their own lives, though those are present too, but the lives of people who left no other record: emigrants who crossed oceans under duress, ancestors who worked rivers in foreign countries, families scattered across continents by persecution and necessity and the simple human desire for somewhere better than where they were. Joanne Soroka weaves these lives. She gives them, as she has said herself, the meaning that history denied them. The loom, in her hands then, is an act of remembrance, slow, physical, irreversible, and as close to justice as textile art has ever come.

Rug & Kilim’s Tapestry Artists’ Series: In Dialogue with Jeni Ross

There is a moment, familiar to anyone who has stood inside a Jeni Ross installation, when the room stops being a room. Not because the work overwhelms the space in the manner of spectacle not because it shouts, but because it restructures. A Ross textile does not hang on a wall so much as claim it, establishing a gravitational field of color and material density that reorganizes everything around it with the quiet authority of a load-bearing element. You do not look at a Jeni Ross. You adjust to it. You find your position in relation to it. The room, in the most literal architectural sense, has acquired a new wall.

Rug & Kilim and the Making of New York’s Modern Textile Language

In every generation of art, there emerges an atelier not merely producing objects, but shaping the very language of its discipline. In New York—where painting found its Abstract Expressionists, fashion found its cutting-edge minimalists, and architecture found its postmodern provocateurs—textiles, too, found such an atelier. For over four decades, Rug & Kilim has served as the intellectual, cultural, and artistic nucleus of a movement now rightly recognized as Urban Craft Modernism. This is not a revival of an old-school weaving tradition. This is the emergence of a New York School of Weaving—a philosophy, a practice, a collective of minds—and Rug & Kilim stands at its center.
