Pierre Cardin Rugs – There are a handful of twentieth-century designers whose ideas and designs were so bold and innovative that they transcended their field to become household names. One of those designers is the legendary Pierre Cardin. Born in Italy in 1922 and educated in France, Cardin has created an international brand with an impressively diverse range of products. Cardin has been designing products in his signature style for decades, and had worked on products as varied as clothing, accessories, bicycles, area rugs, furniture and interior design pieces. With his distinct style, which has been described as being a mix between space-age aesthetics and geometric experimentation, Cardin was among an elite group of designers whose works were so prevalent in day to day life that his design style had a definitive impact on prevailing trends of the times.
Cardin’s family immigrated to Paris in 1924. Following years of poverty in the wake of the Second World War, he studied architecture and later became the head of the Dior fashion house before establishing his own haute couture atelier. Cardin traveled extensively, and his early fashion designs were heavily inspired by then-contemporary trends in Japanese fashion. Ever innovative, Cardin applied his distinct and exciting style to every product that he designed – including some very special vintage rugs. Cardin’s carpet designs embody his signature geometric style along with stylistic elements synonymous with mid-century design trends. Pierre Cardin carpets include a woven inscription with the designer’s full name written in a cursive script.

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!
