Our Rugs

Walking into Artisan Rug Gallery is a journey- through profoundly deep and mesmerizing reds, imperial blues, and effervescent golds. It is a journey through geometry, proportion, and symmetry. It is a journey of threads through the lands of Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, and Eastern Europe. It is a journey through craftsmanship centuries old, where we might tactilely know a person through their art, these seas and sands of knots their fingers have woven. It is a journey through history.

Touching the rugs is like reading a foreign language, revealing and translating what color and symbol may have only partially explained. The luxurious texture is soft and thick as velvet, resilient as leather -the fabric of an ancient knowledge.

Here are handcrafted rugs from around the world. At your fingertips are the much sought-after Luri from the Zagros Mountains of southwest Iran, impressively stylizes, capitalizing on rich colors and their combination; the exceptionally varied and unusual patterns of the Balouch from Afghanistan; the alluring simplicity of the Persian gabbeh. The Persian Serapi with its concentric medallion gives way to intricate vine and flowers, finely proportional, crisp and elegant. Almost every rug is an individual, a unique expression of its weavers and their culture.

When choosing a rug from Artisan Rug Gallery, the guesswork of quality is eliminated and you are assured of receiving a superior piece of art worth the investment.
