Rug & Kilim’s Modern Classics Rug, Mauve Medallions in Pink Trellises “Vagireh”

This 7x10 rug represents a bold new line of Rug & Kilim’s Modern Classics Collection—a series of contemporary rugs by one of the most talented ateliers and designers in the craft, made with hand-knotted all-natural silk of the utmost quality in handweaving today. On the Design: Each piece in this collection is a unique reimagining of traditional designs and antique rugs in one of the most luxurious new qualities and high knot counts available today. This particular rug—entitled “Vagireh” in honor of one of the foundations of carpet weaving history itself—features a graceful repeating pattern of stylized diamond-shaped medallions, reminiscent of traditional arabesques or trellises, underscored by hues of chocolate brown, dusky pink, and mauve tones with cream accent. The marriage of the brilliant sheen of silk, a regal colorway, and delicate vine scrolls make for an exceedingly royal look. The muted tones and subtle color variations further create an atmosphere of understated luxury and sophistication, making it a versatile piece that could complement a range of interior styles. Admirers of the craft and keen eyes will particularly appreciate how each pattern enjoys its own distinct colors, and the unique sense of movement yielded from the subtle play of two patterns together—one vertical, one horizontal, married in such a unique, yet comfortable fashion. These and countless other feats of detail and beauty speak to a style of rug no one else has approached—the bleeding edge of handmade and high-end rugs, every bit as much a work of art as a woven treasure with vast design applications. Custom Capable: All sizes and colors available—inquire for a quote.

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

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.

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

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.

What William Morris, Paul Poiret, and the Bauhaus Each Understood About the Rug and What French Art Deco Proved

What William Morris, Paul Poiret, and the Bauhaus Each Understood About the Rug and What French Art Deco Proved

In the winter of 1883, William Morris stood before a room full of wool merchants, manufacturers, and assorted Victorian worthies in a lecture hall in Birmingham and said something that no one in that room was prepared to hear. The decorative arts, he told them, were not decorative at all. They were the most serious form of human making and their degradation under industrial production was not an aesthetic problem but a civilizational one. He had brought, as he often did, an Oriental carpet to make his point. Then he said, in effect: this is what we have lost the capacity to make, and until we recover it, we have no business calling ourselves a culture.

Savonnerie, Aubusson, Gobelins: The Three Ateliers That Defined What Europe Believed a Rug Could Be

Savonnerie, Aubusson, Gobelins: The Three Ateliers That Defined What Europe Believed a Rug Could Be

In the final years of the sixteenth century, the treasury of France was hemorrhaging. Not to war alone though there had been enough of that but to the East. French silver was flowing steadily toward Persia and the Levant in exchange for knotted-pile carpets, objects of such refinement and such authority that no European workshop had yet produced anything capable of competing with them. Henri IV, who had survived the Wars of Religion and the bankruptcy of a kingdom to sit on the French throne, was not a man inclined to accept a problem he could solve. He installed Pierre Dupont — weaver, entrepreneur, and the most technically accomplished carpet-maker in France in the galleries of the Louvre itself, in workshops beneath the palace's own roof, with a single instruction: make something that does not require us to send money to Persia.

From the Rothschild Collection: On Provenance, Collecting, and the Rugs That Outlast Everything

From the Rothschild Collection: On Provenance, Collecting, and the Rugs That Outlast Everything

In April 2016, three rugs arrived at Christie's King Street in London that had not been seen in public for over a century. They had not been exhibited. They had not been published. They had not, so far as the scholarly record indicates, been shown to anyone outside the family that owned them since before the First World War. They were Kerman Vase carpets, woven in southeastern Persia in the seventeenth century, acquired by Ferdinand de Rothschild before his death in 1898, passed to his sister Alice, then by descent to her nephew James, and held quietly, privately, with the particular discretion that distinguishes the greatest collections from merely expensive ones for one hundred and eighteen years.

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

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.
