Antique Avar Rugs – The Avar are One of the Largest of the Dagestan Tribes. Antique Caucasian rugs are among the more popular antique traditional Oriental rugs, widely admired for their distinctly tribal aesthetics. The Avars of the Caucasus were responsible for designing and producing some of the most distinctive, most easily identifiable antique Oriental rugs. These masterworks were characteristically woven with repeating rows of stepped polygons, creating an impressive effect that is as breath-taking to behold today as it was when the rugs were originally made. These antique rugs also tend to feature diagonal stripes, which typically adorn the main border. The warp and threads are generally mixed with light brown coloring.
All of these distinctive characteristics combine to make Avar rugs some of the most fascinating – and some of the most beautiful – antique rugs available, not only of Caucasian origin, but of any antique Oriental rug style. Tribal and simplistic while also sophisticated and aesthetically daring, these rugs are a unique treasure. The unique color pallets utilized by Avar weavers infuse these carpets with a great deal of energy that beautifully complements the tribal aesthetic of these exciting and distinct rugs and carpets. An important manifestation of Avar cultural ideals, these carpets are a fascinating reflection of the people responsible for their weaving.

Twenty or so years ago my father gave me a beautiful antique Persian rug - after so many years (and kids and pets) it needed some TLC, so I brought it to Nazmiyal. I just picked it up today and - wow! They got the stains out entirely and the entire rug is brighter; they also made some repairs - it's back in my living room and looks fantastic, and the bill was lower than I'd expected. Overall it was a great experience - the people are wonderful, the work was perfect, and I saw so many beautiful rugs at their store that I found myself wishing for a larger apartment. Next time I need any work done on a rug, or find an open bit of floor I know where I'll be heading.

It is always a delight going to the Nazmiyal showroom. This Qashqai is one of several purchases made over the years, and mom is truly enjoying it. Jason and the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly. They listen to the customeru2019s needs. When I go to the showroom, it is like visiting my family because we have the same appreciation for the textile arts.nnOriental carpets are a rare discipline to be educated in, because you canu2019t go to a university to have certain types of training and experience, such as knowing the cultures and processes of carpet weaving. Jason has such a refined eye that he can distinguish a good rug from a great rug, and that knowledge is offered to the customer to elevate their point of view.nnComing here has been an initiation into a world of culture, art, and beauty which has sustained me, and for that I am grateful.

Loved my runner rug purchase from Nazmiyal. Love the ability to purchase, try and return if it didn't work out! I had it shipped to California and everything worked out beautifully!

NAZMIYAL is the best source for antique and vintage rugs and carpets. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, Jason himself is an amazing dealer who handpicks each and every piece in his stunning collection and is happy to educate the consumer, not just make a sale. I always trust his experience and great eye for all my spaces!

I had an absolutely wonderful experience working with Nazmiyal. I was very impressed by their selection, the quality of their beautiful carpets, and their extremely reasonable prices. Really I cannot say enough about how helpful everyone at the gallery was - especially Omri, work with him if you can! - and how happy I am with my new antique rug. Five stars, highly, highly recommended!
