Joan Miro Rugs and Tapestries – The multi-discipline Catalan artist Joan Miro (1893 – 1983) was a pioneer and innovator in modern art. Born in Barcelona, Joan Miro became a prominent fixture in the art world joining a variety of surrealist, experimental and dada groups that were active in France and Spain. Miro is famous for his paintings, large-scale sculptures, murals, ceramics and tapestries. He was also an avid printmaker renowned for his handcrafted prints and lithographs.
Born into the family of a goldsmith and cabinetmaker, Miro studied art before becoming an accountant. After suffering a life-changing nervous breakdown, the artist’s family encouraged him to concentrate on art. Following a successful solo exhibition in 1918, Miro moved to Paris where his works were featured alongside Picasso, Matisse and other greats. At the time, a revival of tapestry and weaving techniques was occurring. Between 1920 and 1930, workshops in Aubusson faithfully recreated the works of Miro and fellow Catalonian Pablo Picasso as area rugs and tapestries.
In 1974, Miro created an expansive tapestry that was displayed in the World Trade Center until the priceless piece was destroyed in the tragic September 11th terrorist attacks. Miro was originally opposed to the idea but later embraced the concept learning weaving techniques and creating several monumental works, including several collaborative pieces with Joseph Royo. Miro left an exceptional legacy of artistic works and textiles that span more than 60 years. Today, Joan Miro is widely regarded as the father of abstract expressionism and one of the greatest modern artists.

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!
