Ingrid Dessau Rugs – Ingrid Dessau (1923-2000) was a lifelong artist who received extensive training in textile design under the most prestigious names in the industry. Born in Sweden’s southernmost district of Skåne, Dessau was immersed in traditional handicrafts. At age 17, her formal training began at the Swedish School of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm. After completing her schooling, Dessau worked under the legendary Barbro Nilsson, who was directing the Märta Måås-Fjetterström studio at the time.
Early in her career, Dessau was an important figure at the local Hemslöjden craft center where she designed many rugs, textiles and decorative pieces. She was also responsible for managing a group of 100 home weavers and artisans. In 1948, Dessau received an important traveling grant that allowed her to experience skyscrapers, jazz music and a variety of sights and sounds in New York and Mexico. These experiences influenced much of her later work. Dessau held her debut exhibition in 1953 and went on to design area carpets for the country’s best ateliers.
Between 1945 and 1986, Dessau designed carpets and textiles for the Kristianstad Läns Hemslöjd, Kasthall, Kinnasand and Hitex. Her abstract designs and clever repeating patterns earned her several distinguished awards and many high-profile clients, including the Swedish parliament. Dessau continued working as a freelance designer and completing private commissions into the 1990’s when she was asked to design table linens for the 90th anniversary of the Nobel Prize ceremony along with two other notable textile artists. Dessau’s unique designs are based on classic traditions that are redrawn in a modern way. Her stylistic hallmark is described as a celebration of the plain. Many of the artist’s best selling designs are signed with the initials “ID.”

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!
