A. Osterberg — Agda Osterberg was a Scandinavian designer and artist born in Stokholm in 1891. After studying at the Higher Arts Industrial School (now the College of Arts) at the university of Stockholm, she became a well-known designer of textiles and rugs, as well as pottery and other household goods.
In 1916 Osterberg became a teacher at the renowned Friends of Handicraft Association in Stockholm. In 1920 she was awarded a scholarship by the Swedish Society of Crafts which allowed her to further her studies in Germany and France, as well as the Bauhaus school in Weimar.
Osterberg became well-known for her contemporary textile and area rug designs that were influenced by Art Deco, the Bauhaus style, as well as the ornate stained-glass windows of European cathedrals. Her indebtedness to these styles can be clearly seen in her vividly colorful geometric textile works, which won her renown in Scandinavia and abroad. Agda Osterberg died in 1987, at the age of 96.

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!
