My wife and I are so pleased with the antique Uzbek Bokhara Rug purchased from the Nazmiyal Collection. Not only does the rug have a spectacular design, it also was very reasonably priced. The way it transforms our living room, reconciling the classic modern furniture with the 1913 Craftsman interior is remarkable.

I bought two gorgeous Serapi rugs from Farhad at Nazmiyal Rugs! Beautiful carpets, fair prices and great service. Very happy customer. Farhad (the sales person) was very patient and gave us great service.

I recently purchased a modern Kandinsky rug from Nazmiyal Auctions. It was just as described, and the director (Farhad) of the auctions had it sent to me quickly and safely. Payment was easy, the rug was reasonably priced, and I highly recommend Nazmiyal Auctions and Antique Rugs. Quality merchandise and first-class service.

Had a excellent experience buying a rug in Nazmiyal's 1/18/26 online auction. First, prior to the auction, viewing a number of lots at the 32nd St showroom (I had prepared a list from the online catalog). The staff were great to work with: helpful, knowledgable, honest, and flexible. Second, after placing an online bid and winning the desired item, arranging payment and pickup was simple and straightforward. Everything went seamlessly and the overall experience was educational and fun. Many thanks to Jason and his team.

Everyone at Naziyal is proffessional, especially Jason and Farhad. They are knowledgeable, truthful, and true gentlemen. I have sold several rugs through them and will always go to them first, to buy or sell. The best in the business!

Frequently Asked Questions

A silk and wool rug is a type of rug made from a blend of silk and wool fibers. Both silk and wool are natural fibers with unique qualities, and combining them in a rug creates a product that aims to leverage the benefits of each material.
Wool and silk blend rugs can be durable, but their longevity depends on various factors such as the quality of materials, construction, and how well they are maintained. Both wool and silk are natural fibers with unique characteristics.
Some rugs may be labeled as a silk and wool blend, and the ratio of silk to wool can vary. Additionally, handmade rugs may exhibit unique characteristics based on the craftsmanship and region of origin. When purchasing a rug, it’s advisable to ask the seller for information about the materials used and care instructions.
Given the delicacy of silk fibers, it’s crucial to exercise caution during cleaning to avoid damage. Always refer to the manufacturer’s care instructions or consult with a professional cleaner for specific guidance based on the type and construction of the rug.
Here are some aspects that make wool and silk rugs special:rnNatural Fibers:rnBoth wool and silk are natural fibers, making them desirable for those seeking environmentally friendly and sustainable materials.rnDurability:rnWool is known for its durability and resilience. Wool fibers can withstand high traffic areas and resist wear, making wool rugs long-lasting.rnThe combination of wool and silk in a rug may enhance durability by combining the strength of wool with the luxurious feel of silk.
Wool is an extremely durable fiber. This is one of the reasons it gets used so frequently in the area rug weaving industry. Since rugs get walked on, they need to be durable to withstand daily traffic and use. Wool is also naturally biodegradable and sustainable. No sheep are harmed during the cultivation of the wool for weaving wool rugs. The sheep get sheared in spring to rid them of an overly warm winter coat. Then it regrows in time to protect them again the following winter. You can think of it as getting a short summertime hair cut.rnrnSilk is another natural fiber. Although most people think silk (or silk rugs) as being more delicate, in it’s natural untreated form, Silk it actually just as durable (if not more so) as wool. So don’t let its reputation as a fragile fabric fool you. Silk is still a durable material and quite suitable for weaving rugs, especially upscale art pieces.
Wool and silk are the two most common materials used in high-end rugs. Each material offers unique benefits and drawbacks for both rug weavers and buyers. Whether you want a luxury rug for your home or an artistic rug as an investment, understanding the material is important. What is the difference between silk rugs vs. wool rugs?
Due to the greater challenge and higher material cost, you can expect silk rugs to typically be more costly than wool ones, but labor and material costs are not the only factors in valuing a rug. A high-end rug made from wool can be more expensive and desirable than a silk rug in some cases. There are several factors to consider when choosing a rug material as a buyer.
Wool and silk rugs can both be very luxurious and worth owning. Typically, silk rugs are more expensive and sought after. The exclusivity of silk and the skill necessary to weave it have made it the material of choice of many masterful artisans. If you are looking for a rug as an art piece or for display, silk is likely the right choice of material. If you want a rug that you can use in a commonly visited part of your home, wool may be the better choice, and it is also often more budget-friendly. That does not mean that a wool rug is necessarily cheap, however. The size, origin, complexity, and knots per square inch / KPSI also have a huge impact on the price. Ultimately, you should choose a rug that you like or think will work well as an investment. Material plays a role in both of these criteria but should not be the only factor in consideration.
