Tuduk Rug Royal Design

About the Item

This Tuduk Royal Rug, measuring 285 × 162 cm, is a magnificent representation of regal symbolism woven into textile art. Hailing from the Tuduk weaving tradition—known for its intricate designs and deep-rooted cultural significance—this rug captures the essence of aristocratic grandeur and heraldic elegance. The centerpiece of this rug is a vivid blue medallion displaying a dramatic coat of arms, complete with twin lions, ornate scrolls, and a crowned crest that centers on a lobster motif—a unique symbol often associated with resilience, transformation, and nobility. Flanking the medallion are floral and geometric elements that emphasize its importance, creating a sense of symmetry and royal dignity. Surrounding the central field is a dense background of hexagonal rosettes, meticulously arranged in an interlocking honeycomb pattern, symbolizing harmony and continuity. This field is further enriched by four dark medallions—two at the top and two at the bottom—each bearing a different heraldic emblem or crest, representing noble houses or familial alliances. These motifs are not only decorative but also tell a story of lineage and power, turning this rug into a visual tapestry of European or possibly Austro-Hungarian aristocracy. The border, rendered in a delicate palette of soft gold, terracotta, and ivory, features repeating patterns of floral vines and looping ribbons, enhancing the visual rhythm and enclosing the heraldic narrative within an elegant frame. Crafted with exceptional precision, the Tuduk Royal Rug is likely a one-of-a-kind piece, once made for a high-ranking official, noble family, or ceremonial use. Its condition, balanced color palette, and historic motifs make it a valuable collector’s item—not only for its aesthetic charm but also for its cultural and symbolic richness. Perfect for collectors of rare antique textiles, connoisseurs of European heraldry, or anyone drawn to unique narrative rugs that transcend mere decoration, this piece commands attention and admiration in any interior it graces.

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...
