Brita Grahn Rugs – Kilim rugs originated in the Middle East – specifically in the Caucasus region. They can be used as decorative floor coverings or as statement pieces on walls or sofas, thanks to the thinner make of these rugs. The patterns of Kilim rugs are produced solely with the horizontal wefts covering the vertical warps, and typically feature bold, primary colors. While Kilims (or “Gilims” in Persian, as opposed to the Turkish norm) are all beautiful standout pieces, Brita Grahn’s use of sandier, or at times pastel, colors makes her Kilims even more remarkable.
Including her Scandinavian take on Kilims, the textile artist created a number of warm, earthy rugs that draw the eye – too welcoming to be out of place, too startlingly unique to be familiar. Aside from Kilim rugs, Brita Grahn produced a number of more traditionally Swedish rugs and carpets. Scandinavian craftspeople have been making rugs by hand for centuries yet until recently had gained little notoriety in comparison to those from regions more typically associated with the craft (such as Persia and China), but contemporary Swedish rugs are now definitely having their day in the sun, and Brita Grahn is one textile designer whose name mustn’t be forgotten in discussions about the Swedish rug trend.

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!
