Corneille rugs – The Dutch painter Corneille (1922-2010), born Guillaume Cornelis van Beverloo, was at the forefront of the avant-garde movement in postwar Europe. Corneille was a poet and multi-disciplinary artist who helped earn recognition and respect for modern art. As a lifelong artist, Corneille had a long and industrious career creating original paintings, sculptures, ceramics, art objects and jewelry. His boldly colored paintings were frequently adapted into art carpets by the Danish manufacturer EGE Axminster and other firms specializing in art rugs.
Corneille was an optimist and self-described painter of joy, an emotion embedded in all his works. A Belgian by birth, Corneille moved to the Netherlands with his family at the age of 12. He received formal training at the prestigious Academy of Art in Amsterdam before turning the local art scene on its head. Corneille helped establish the experimental Dutch art group REFLEX. Around the same time, he co-founded the influential but short lived group CoBrA, an acronym of the members’ home cities. Former CoBrA members include Karel Appel, Constant, Christian Dotremont and other artists who had highly successful careers.
From 1948 to 1951, CoBrA completed international exhibitions and published a 10-issue magazine that included Corneille’s poetry. The group disbanded in 1951 saying they achieved all their goals. This gave Corneille the freedom to travel and focus on his solo work. His paintings often feature brightly colored birds, animals, voluptuous women and fantastical landscapes decorated with mythical details. Corneille took familiar objects and depicted them in a new, abstract manner. His works are displayed in the CoBrA Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Corneille was influenced by Paul Klee and Joan Miró. However, he identified most with the style of Vincent van Gogh and was laid to rest next to the great artist according to his wishes.

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!
