What is a geometric rug?

A geometric rug is a type of rug that features patterns and designs inspired by geometric shapes and forms. These shapes can include squares, rectangles, circles, triangles, diamonds, hexagons, and more. Geometric rugs often incorporate repeated patterns or symmetrical arrangements, creating a visually striking and balanced design.

What makes geometric rugs so special?

The specialness of geometric rugs lies in their ability to combine modern aesthetics, versatility, expressive patterns, cultural richness, and a timeless appeal. Whether used as a statement piece or to complement existing decor, geometric rugs offer a visually captivating and flexible design option for various interior spaces.

How do people decorate around geometric rugs?

Personal taste plays a crucial role in decorating, so feel free to experiment and adjust these suggestions based on your preferences. The goal is to create a cohesive and visually pleasing space that showcases the beauty of the geometric rug.

How is geometry used in Islamic art?

Geometric patterns are a critical element found in Islamic art of all types. The other two non-figurative types of decoration found most commonly in Islamic design are calligraphy and floral based patterns. The popularity of all three patterns is largely due to their symbolic quality, where the human face and body are not represented. You can see these elaborate, intricate abstract designs on almost any surface of Islamic architecture and major decorative elements, such as antique geometric rugs, as well as in just about any other type of object.

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!
