This Bakhshaish was handwoven during the 3rd quarter of the 20th century.

It is an exceptional and unusually square-format Bakhshaish rug, finely woven and boldly composed. Rather than the typical medallion or open-field layout, this piece features a dynamic tree-of-life design of stylized floral shrubs that rise in symmetrical rows from potted vases. Rendered in lively tones of rose, sky blue, saffron, and pistachio against a deeply oxidized walnut-brown ground.

The drawing is lyrical and expressive, wit

A superb example of the famed Fachralo Kazak tradition, this nearly square tribal rug showcases the bold geometry and saturated natural dyes that define the best of 19th-century Caucasian weaving. Two stepped red diamonds anchor the rich indigo field, surrounded by stylized floral octagons arranged in harmonious symmetry. A vibrant rosette border on madder red is framed by ivory-ground reciprocal latch-hook motifs and intricate vine guards, adding rhythmic complexity to the composition.

This Sewan Kazak was woven in the Caucasus during the 19th century.

It features a variation of the classic rendition of the sewan design found in the Caucasus. The strong shield-like medallion is rendered here with a more boxier variation in a rich red, jade, indigo and an cheerful yellow. It is framed by latchooked filled sqaures that coordinate perfectly with the squarish medallion

This finely woven Soumak was woven in the Kuba region of the eastern Caucasus during the late 19th century.

The field is composed of dynamic diagonal bands filled with stylized zoomorphic and geometric motifs that are often interpreted as abstract dragons and set against alternating red, ivory, and blue grounds. These bands are interspersed with charming and symbolic filler elements like tiny birds and floral motifs that animate the composition with delightful irregularity.

Antique Marash Embroidery

This embroidered textile is a well-preserved example of late Ottoman Armenian domestic needlework, likely produced in the town of Marash (modern-day Kahramanmaraş, Turkey) at the turn of the 20th century. Two guardian-like anthropomorphic figures occupy diagonally opposite corners, a rare and symbolic feature suggesting a talismanic function. This was most likely produced in a domestic Armenian workshop prior to the forced displacement of local communities during the Armenian Genocide of 1915.

It features an elegant paneled garden design. Each compartment is filled with varied floral motifs, botehs, or medallions which create a lush and rhythmic visual field that evokes the classical Persian garden ideal.A richly detailed border of scrolling palmettes and rosettes.

A refined example of modern Gabbeh weaving, this piece offers a minimalist meditation on color and form. Bands of saturated burgundy, indigo, and green move across a central panel, grounded by a glowing yellow field that frames the composition with quiet elegance.

Gabbeh rugs are known for their thick wool, subtle variegation, and expressive use of natural dyes. This example distills those elements into a bold yet harmonious design that is both rooted in tradition and strikingly modern.

Alone in Alexandria is a woven tapestry completed by Mary-Ann Sievert in 2020.

From Mary-Ann: When the world was confronted with the Covid pandemic in 2020, I felt compelled to create something that could bring some kind of positive energy and relief in the midst of such horror. With its ancient history in Egyptian religion and history, often as an amulet, the scarab became a kind of talisman and hope for a world in desperate need of healing.

At the Vanity is a woven tapestry completed by Mary-Ann Sievert in 1990.

From Mary Ann:

My fascination with grids goes back to art school. In my tapestries, they have been the basis of several compositions but I have also broken up the grid into splintered areas that take on a kind of cubist imagery. The work of the Cubist painters has had a great influence on me in both tapestry as well as in painting.

These Brain Squares are made of 12” x 12” birch plywood and are part of an ongoing project that includes both pre-planned and improvised components. This series is also informed by music. The pre-planned aspect is that all include a brain image in which I use the same two stencils and enamel spray paint, though using different combinations of colors. The background in all these pieces, is the improvised part. For that, I use colored Sharpie markers and each one is different. While I a

DEAL OF THE MONTH

Antique Framed Cigar Quilt

These quilts were handcrafted in United States during the turn of the 20th century.

These hand-stitched quilt panels are made from silk cigar ribbons. These pieces reflect a unique chapter in American domestic craft, when women repurposed decorative silk bands that had been used to bundle cigars into quilts, pillows and other textile art. These have been placed in floating glass frames that show both the front and the back of the squares.
