Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd Rugs – Founded in 1949, the Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd was a local handcraft organization dedicated to selling locally produced crafts and helping regional artists earn a living. County handcraft associations were at the forefront of Sweden’s mid-century textile Renaissance, and the Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd was no exception. This local organization was headed by notable weaving teachers and acclaimed hand-craft greats like Anna-Maria Hoke and Maj Svanstrom. These master weavers and designers were instrumental in establishing and growing the Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd, which opened its first handcraft shop in 1950.
Gavleborgs Lans Hemslojd represented artists throughout Gavleborg County and maintained a shop in the county seat of Gavle. Before joining this association, Anna-Maria Hoke designed area rugs for the neighboring Vastmanlands Hemslojd, and Svanstrom created a number of flat-weave kilims for the Klockaregardens Hemslojd, which ceased operations around 1950. Both Hoke and Svanstrom were notable weavers who earned acclaim in Sweden and internationally. Carpets they designed and constructed for the association bear the hemslojd’s mark “GLH” and the artist’s initials. Works signed “A-M H” and “MS” were also produced for the Vastmanlands Lans Hemslojdsforbund (VLH) and Klockaregardens Hemslojd (KH) respectively.

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!
