Vintage Moroccan Berber Rug with Geometric Chevron Pattern - Rug & Kilim
Anni Albers
By Ann Coxon, Briony Fer and Maria Müller-Schareck, et. al. — Yale University Press, 2018
Bauhaus, Modernist (20th Century), Tapestry & Textile
A long-overdue reassessment of one of the most important and influential woman artists working at midcentury Anni Albers (1899–1994) was a German textile designer, weaver, and printmaker, and among the leading pioneers of 20th-century modernism. Although she has heavily influenced generations of artists and designers, her contribution to modernist art history has been comparatively overlooked, especially in relation to that of her husband, Josef. In this groundbreaking and beautifully illustrated volume, Albers’s most important works are examined to fully explore and redefine her contribution to 20th-century art and design and highlight her significance as an artist in her own right.

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.

Understanding 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.

Navajo 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.

Anatolian Rugs: From Seljuk Origins to Contemporary Luxury Spaces
Among the world's most influential textile traditions, Anatolian rugs occupy a singular position in the history of decorative arts. Emerging from the vast cultural landscape of Anatolia—modern-day Turkey—these carpets represent centuries of artistic exchange between Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and the Mediterranean world. Few weaving traditions have exercised a greater influence on the evolution of carpet design. From Ottoman palaces and Seljuk courts to Renaissance paintings and contemporary luxury interiors, Anatolian rugs have continuously shaped the visual language of textile art. Unlike carpets associated with a single tribe, city, or dynasty, Anatolian rugs encompass an extraordinary range of regional traditions. The result is a diverse yet interconnected weaving culture characterized by bold geometry, symbolic motifs, sophisticated color palettes, and remarkable craftsmanship.

A Guide to Bessarabian Rugs: History, Design, and Modern Luxury
Within the world of collectible textiles and luxury interiors, few rug traditions possess the quiet sophistication and painterly elegance of Bessarabian rugs. Emerging from the historic region of Bessarabia—an area historically situated between present-day Moldova, Romania, and Ukraine—these rugs occupy a unique position at the crossroads of Eastern European folk tradition, Ottoman influence, Russian imperial culture, and French decorative aesthetics. Unlike the geometric tribal weavings commonly associated with Central Asia or the medallion-driven structures of Persian carpets, Bessarabian rugs developed a distinctly atmospheric and ornamental visual language. Their floral compositions, subdued tonal harmonies, and expansive decorative fields positioned them closer to European decorative arts than purely utilitarian floor coverings.

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.
