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.
Beautiful Vintage Emilio Pucci Carpet
Legendary Italian designer Emilio Pucci’s kaleidoscopic carpet is an absolute treasure. With sweeping French curves and a vintage palate, this is a true one-of-a-kind find of pop art rug design. As far as the vintage mid-century modern movement is concerned, it simply does not get much better than this – in every way, shape and form imaginable.
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.
Like his clothing, this huge area rug features a dramatic geometric design. The vibrant, festive pattern is best known as the Pucci Print, embodying the lively energy of the man and his legacy.

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!

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!
