A very unusual tribal rug, distinguished by an emerald green background in various gradations, embellished by sparse geometric motifs as well as by an anthropomorphic figure. The yellow ground border contains a parallel set of cartouche-like elements which are characteristic of Kurdish tribal iconography. Indeed Kurdish people inhabit a considerable portion of eastern Anatolia since time immemorial, and are among the main tribes responsible for carrying on the ancient weaving traditions.

Vintage Moroccan Modernist Textural Ivory Cotton Square Rug
Located in Milan, IT
Custom woven in Tangiers in the late 1970s for the Rue De Grenelle Parisian apartment of someone very close to Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, the rug is distinguished by an infinite repeat pattern of diamonds, which are knotted in raised pile just like the border. The rug's unique, sturdy texture is also augmented by the fact that it is woven entirely in cotton. Wonderfully tactile and subtle, it speaks the language of Paris chic.

'River of Ponds' Wool Tapestry Rug by Frank Stella, 1970
By Frank Stella
Located in Milan, IT
Frank Stella is one of the leading figures of the Minimalist movement. Initially influenced by the Abstract Expressionism of Jackson Pollock and Franz Kline, towards the late fifties he moves to New York where he abandons the Expressionist quest for color in favour of flat and Minimalist surfaces, following the work of Barnett Newman and Jasper Johns. He soon inaugurated a series of works emphasizing the painting as an object in itself rather than as a representation of something else. Faithful to Minimalist philosophy, the canvas for him is nothing but a flat surface with color yet suggestive of a third dimension.
Towards the early 1960s there was a lot of interest in America in adopting textiles as a medium for artistic expression. In 1962 the World House Galleries in New York organized an exhibition composed of 26 carpets designed by leading Modern Art Masters such as Léger, Mirò and Picasso together with others from the contemporary designer Miriam Leefe. In 1968 the Charles E. Slatkin Galleries in New York opened an exhibition entitled 'American Tapestries', showing the textile artworks of twenty-two Pop Art and Abstract Expressionist artists. These artists were actively involved in the translation of their pictorial language in the textile medium, designing the preparatory cartoons which would then be sent to India for them to be made into weavings. Their interest towards the expressive qualities of three-dimensional flat surfaces found its quintessential expression in the art of the carpet.
This motivated a second exhibition in 1970 entitled 'Modern Master Tapestries', where the term 'tapestry' was applied both to wall hangings as well as floor coverings. The aim of this exhibition was to give a modern configuration to the ancient art of weaving.
