The World of Antique Rugs: History, Origins, and How to See Quality

Join us for the first of an immersive three-part educational series led by Rodolfo Kashanian, one of today’s most respected voices in antique and decorative rugs.

This evening features expert insights, extraordinary examples from the Nazmiyal Collection, and practical guidance on evaluating, sourcing, and using rugs in modern interiors.

Enjoy a wine and cheese reception while connecting with other likeminded collectors, designers, artists, and history buffs, and learn about how to properly source antique and vintage carpets.

This event is free and open to whoever is interested! We invite you to learn more about:

• History and cultural significance of major rug-weaving regions
• Natural dyes, patina, vegetable dyes, and hand-spun wool
• Understanding quality vs mass production
• Condition, rarity, and how specialists evaluate authenticity

The reception and seminar will be taking place in the Nazmiyal Antique Rugs’ very own showroom and only needs an RSVP from guests planning to attend. This event is perfect for new buyers, designers, young collectors, and those with an interest in history and art.
