Hildo Krop rugs – The renowned Dutch sculptor and designer Hildebrand (Hildo) Krop (1884 – 1970) is one of the most versatile and multifaceted artists active during the 20th century. A singular talent, Krop is responsible for designing some truly magnificent vintage carpets. Originally employed as a pastry chef and cook, Krop is one of the proverbial Renaissance men skilled in drafting, stone carving and sculpture as well as ceramics. As the city sculptor for Amsterdam, Krop was heavily involved with architects from the Amsterdamse School creating decorative and architectural sculptures and carvings, which are displayed throughout the city.
As an extremely gifted designer, Krop also created designs for area carpets and rugs, furniture, pottery and decorative items that combine influences from Art Deco and Art Nouveau design movements. During the middle years of the twentieth century, artists such as Krop took on large social roles; in addition to designing, artists of Krop’s caliber were also side social commentators, whose work is a living record of the cultural attitudes that prevailed during their creation.
Hildo Krop is most famous for his prolific contributions to the decorative elements of Amsterdam’s architecture during the early 20th century. His sculptures adorned numerous buildings, particularly those designed in the Amsterdam School style, which was prevalent in the city during that period. Krop’s sculptures, characterized by their organic forms and expressionistic style, became iconic symbols of the era’s architectural and artistic movements.
He is celebrated for his ability to blend naturalistic elements with abstraction, creating visually striking and culturally significant works of art that continue to define the aesthetic of Amsterdam’s urban landscape. Additionally, Krop’s commitment to socialist ideals and his portrayal of themes related to labor and social justice have also contributed to his lasting legacy as an artist of great cultural importance in the Netherlands.
Hildo Krop created numerous sculptures throughout his career, many of which adorn buildings in Amsterdam and beyond.
These are just a few examples of Hildo Krop’s notable sculptures, but his body of work is extensive and diverse, reflecting his talent and versatility as an artist.

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!
