Learn More About Antique Rugs from Mongolia
Antique Mongolia Rugs – The Rugs that were woven in Mongolia provide the open designs and neutral colors that works so well with modern decor. They are ideal design antique rugs that can adapt to almost any interior design and add to the warmth of the room without weighing down the fine balance of a well-crafted interior.
The pile rugs created by ancient Mongolians most likely can trace their origins to the pile Persian rugs. When Genghis Khan conquered Persia along with a large portion of the rest of the world, his troops brought back knowledge of several different forms of art. It was this knowledge of weaving learned from the conquered Persians that formed the basis of the Mongolian craft. Due to the multi-cultural exposure Mongolian citizens attained through the formation of their almost unfathomably vast empire, the rugs they created often had a variety of influences from all over the world.
Perhaps most notably, Mongolian carpets take a large amount of inspiration from the craft of their neighbors to the south. Besides taking techniques from the Persians, designs of Mongolian rugs also often bare similarities to Chinese rugs. Mongolian rugs display similar patterns to Chinese rugs and often place them atop a solid background. Many motifs are also borrowed from Chinese weavers, but are often simplified and recreated in a more geometric style.
Images such as tigers, dragons, endless knots, and Buddhist symbols can all be found in both Chinese and Mongolian weaving. Unlike Chinese rugs, however, Mongolian rugs rarely feature a vibrant color palette. The hues found on Mongolian rugs are usually brown and other more muted, earthy colors. Mongolian carpets also often employ more negative space to separate each portion of the design.

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!
