Vintage Medallion Green-Blue and Red Wool Turkish Rug Fragment

Hand-knotted in fine wool,a vintage fragment rug bearing tribal aesthetics resting joyfully on a comforting white backdrop with red detailing. The fragment prevails in luscious brown, red & yellow complementing the distress consistent with age. Believed to be from the 1970s given the field signature, an artful union of vintage parts—capable of adorning a variety of projects, best suited for wall hangings as an ornament, though possible for certain projects underfoot.

"Rug & Kilim is one of our favorite sources when looking for quality handmade rugs. Their team go above and beyond to find &/or make the rugs that fit our clients needs as well as their dreams."

— Becca Ford, Emily Lindberg Design

Provenance, Structure, Intelligibility: The Three Pillars of Serious Collecting

Anyone can acquire a rug. To collect one, to bring it into a serious collection with the confidence that it belongs there, requires a discipline, and that discipline rests on three questions. Across four decades of building one of the most significant archives in the country, this house has come to evaluate every object through the same three. They are the difference between buying and collecting, and they are worth setting down plainly, because they apply as readily to a Safavid fragment as to a signed Aubusson, and because they are the same three questions, at bottom, that a curator at the Metropolitan or a specialist at Christie's brings to any object of consequence.

The Evolution of Floral Motifs in Antique Rugs and Kilims: Mapping the Pomegranate, Tulip, and Carnation

Antique 17th Century French Beauvais Tapestry with Floral Vase - Rug & Kilim, NO. 36829 We had a tapestry acquisition unfolding itself in the studio a while ago. Josh and the team just stood there, silently admiring the way the light caught the threads. This was the Antique French Beauvais Tapestry (SKU 36829). It was handwoven in wool, with natural silk accents, circa 1700. When you look at something like that, you do not just see fabric. What you see is the garden of wool and dreams. The precise interlacing of the wefts gives a picture of a gigantic floral vase placed atop an architectural entablature. The botanical imagery is absolutely mesmerizing. There is so much wealth and mystery to it all.

How the World’s Most Serious Art Spaces Are Rewriting the Rules of the Floor and the Contemporary Home

There is a room at Hauser & Wirth Somerset; the gallery that occupies a converted farmhouse in the English countryside, where Pipilotti Rist installations have shared walls with Phyllida Barlow sculptures and where the building itself feels like an argument against the idea that serious art requires a white cube to be taken seriously, where a single large antique textile lies on the stone floor beneath work of radical contemporary ambition. It does not announce itself. It simply holds the room together with the authority of an object that has been doing exactly this, in exactly this way, for several centuries longer than the art above it has existed. The artists whose work hangs on those walls have spent their careers thinking about surface, material, and the relationship between an object and the space it occupies. The carpet understood all of this before any of them picked up a brush.

How U.S.–Iran Tensions Are Reshaping the World of Fine Rugs: From Safavid Courts to Sanction Regimes

There is a room in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York where a sixteenth-century Persian carpet stops people mid-stride. Because something in the object itself; its scale, its silence, the particular authority of a thing that has already outlasted three empires makes the ordinary pace of a museum visit feel suddenly inappropriate. The Emperor's Carpet, as it is known, was commissioned in Safavid Iran, passed to Peter the Great of Russia, gifted to the Habsburg Emperor Leopold I in 1698, held by the Austrian Imperial House until 1921, acquired by the Met in 1941, and displayed publicly only twice in the following sixty years because its condition was too fragile to risk. It has survived more political systems than any collector alive today will ever witness. It knows something about geopolitics that no sanctions framework, no bilateral negotiation, no executive order has yet managed to articulate.

A Brief Guide to Zeki Müren Rugs: Our Birthday Commemoration of the Late Artist’s Life and Rare Works

Here, a vintage 3x6 Zeki Müren rug adorns an art gallery design by James Yarosh. Today would be Müren's 91st birthday — he was born Dec. 6, 1931 in Bursa, Turkey, and he passed Sept. 24, 1996 in his Bodrum home. He was an icon to countless, a bold atelier to many like us and an artist like no other to any that know his work as well as we do. Whether you know him as "Sun of Art" or "Model Citizen" or "the David Bowie of Turkey" or Pasha — an affectionate Turkish name for a leader — Müren was a prolific multidisciplinary artist like few of his period, or any for that matter. Of his many accolades in classical music, TV, film and art, Müren was, furthermore, an openly gay man in an Islamic country who regularly challenged gender norms in his performance to such an extent that he remains a figure in Turkey's LGBTQ+ movement today.

A Glossary of Handmade Rugs and Kilims: Understanding Terms, Types and Techniques Past and Present

Referring to the art style characterized by using shape and color withdrawn from traditional repetition or realism. Abstract rugs — sometimes referred to as art rugs — capture an expressive nature that reads as a very modern style, though many abstract rugs draw inspiration from works of the same art style in the mid-century. One of the more widely known mid-century lineages of this style is abstract expressionism, named for the literal "expressionists" of the 1950s. Some of the most notable names behind this style include Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko. Referring to a lineage of nomadic Persian rugs (sometimes referred to as “Avsar” in the alternate spelling). Afshar rugs hail from the eponymous tribe in the region of Northeastern Iran.
