Emilio Pucci Rugs, Emilio Pucci the Marchese of Barsento, (1914–1992) was a 20th century renaissance man born into one of the oldest noble families in the artistically inclined metropolis of Florence. He was a well-rounded nobleman, an athlete, an intellectual, an air force pilot, a politician and an amazingly gifted designer. By 1947, skiwear that Pucci designed for a friend appeared in Harper’s Bazaar, and an international phenomenon began. Pucci went on to design high-tech swimwear, airline uniforms and a complete range of fashion apparel. Using creativity and science, he produced vibrant kaleidoscopic patterns and helped developed wrinkle-free synthetic textiles with unprecedented printing qualities.

Historic anecdotes show that Pucci was a perfectionist and a fanatic for color who went to great lengths to photograph dazzling natural hues and recreate them in the laboratory with scientists. His beloved designs were favored by Jackie O, Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, Madonna and fashion icons around the world. Original patterns that Pucci developed are also featured on home items, a limited number of art carpets and several privately commissioned rugs that have commanded impressive prices at auction. These tantalizing wool carpets have been described as paintings for the floor, and they capture the intense colors, sweeping lines and best traits of Emilio Pucci’s unmistakable textile designs.

Geometric patterns with pops of bold color are eponymous with Pucci’s style. An influence that swept through fashion, interior design and politics, Puccini’s designs dominated from the late 1940’s to today.

Most famous for his creativity with stretch fabrics, Emilio Pucci got his style start in ski and swimwear design. His liberal use of bold colors grew as he experimented with fine silk scarves and blouses. After gaining a following with Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren and Jacky Kennedy, Pucci’s name became an international fashion symbol.

Not only does the rug have a spectacular design, it also was very reasonably priced. The way it transforms our living room, reconciling the classic modern furniture with the 1913 Craftsman interior is remarkable.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently purchased a modern Kandinsky rug from Nazmiyal Auctions.  It was just as described, and the director (Farhad) of the auctions had it sent to me quickly and safely.  Payment was easy, the rug was reasonably priced, and I highly recommend Nazmiyal Auctions and Antique Rugs.  Quality merchandise and first-class service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a excellent experience buying a rug in Nazmiyal's 1/18/26 online auction.  First, prior to the auction, viewing a number of lots at the 32nd St showroom (I had prepared a list from the online catalog). The staff were great to work with: helpful, knowledgable, honest, and flexible.  Second, after placing an online bid and winning the desired item, arranging payment and pickup was simple and straightforward. Everything went seamlessly and the overall experience was educational and fun. Many thanks to Jason and his team.
