Tuduk Rug Eagle Design

About the Item

This remarkable Antique Tuduk Carpet, measuring 308 × 145 cm, is a rare and visually arresting example of ceremonial woven art, steeped in historical and cultural symbolism. The carpet is defined by its exquisite central medallion—a majestic two-headed eagle, wings outstretched in a commanding pose, soaring above stylized flames. Framed by a border of imperial motifs, the eagle evokes themes of power, protection, and divine oversight, making this piece a likely candidate for high-ranking ceremonial or ecclesiastical contexts. Surrounding the central field is a meticulously patterned latticework, formed by tightly woven geometric shapes in earthy browns, warm ivory, and honeyed gold. This intricate backdrop lends a rhythmic quality to the carpet’s overall design, balancing the grandeur of the eagle centerpiece with textural depth and complexity. Adding to the carpet’s uniqueness are four circular medallions, two positioned at the top and two at the bottom, each featuring what appears to be a stylized mask or face motif. These could signify spiritual guardians, protective totems, or ancestral symbols, enhancing the narrative richness of the piece. Crafted most likely in Romania, this Tuduk is not just a rug—it is a window into a ceremonial past, masterfully combining regal iconography with artisanal precision. Ideal for collectors, historians, or curated interior spaces, this is a rug that commands reverence and awe.

Andy Warhol Rug Marilyn Monroe Design
Located in Ferrara, IT
This Andy Warhol-inspired carpet featuring the iconic image of Marilyn Monroe is a vibrant and distinctive piece that captures the essence of Pop Art. Measuring 88 × 71 cm (2' 10" × 2' 3"), this carpet is a small but impactful representation of one of the most famous artworks of the 20th century, reinterpreted in an artistic rug. The carpet prominently features Marilyn Monroe's face, rendered in a style that is immediately recognizable as inspired by Andy Warhol’s famous screen prints. The portrait is characterized by bold, contrasting colors: Marilyn's blonde hair is depicted in bright yellow against a vivid orange background, with her facial features highlighted in shades of pink, blue, and red. The design is minimalist yet powerful, with the use of color and form echoing Warhol’s original work that commented on celebrity culture and mass media. This carpet's design serves as both a decorative piece and a statement of modern art, making it a perfect addition to any contemporary or pop-culture-inspired space. The compact size allows it to be used in a variety of settings, whether as a centerpiece on the floor, a wall hanging, or even as a unique conversation piece in a gallery-like setting. The carpet is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that the bold lines and vivid colors remain sharp and true to the original artwork. The use of high-quality materials ensures that the carpet not only captures the aesthetic of Warhol’s work but also offers durability and longevity. The pile is soft, making it a tactile as well as a visual experience. In terms of condition, the carpet is in a very good condition, with no visible signs of wear or fading. The colors remain bright, and the image is well-preserved, suggesting that it has been carefully maintained. This pristine condition adds to its value, particularly for collectors who are interested in Pop Art or Warhol-inspired pieces. Andy Warhol’s work, particularly his portraits of Marilyn Monroe, is emblematic of the Pop Art movement, which emerged in the 1950s and 1960s. Warhol’s focus on celebrities, consumer goods, and the intersection of art and mass production challenged traditional notions of art and culture. His portraits of Marilyn Monroe, produced shortly after her death in 1962, are among his most famous works, symbolizing both the allure and the tragic aspects of celebrity life. This carpet is a modern reinterpretation of that iconic image, translating Warhol’s screen print...
