NAZMIYAL ANTIQUES RUGS…CONTEMPORARY BEAUTIES!
The clean shaven man stood on the street looking into Jason Nazmiyal’s showroom. The woman’s name was Gryt and his name Grunt. He listened to her instructions, for they were husband and wife. As he was married, he did nothing right. They stood outside of the rug gallery. Our place looks like a cave, she said.”
Designing and decorating our “caves” is an integral part of the development of mankind, and throughout history there have been different artisans and skilled laborers that produced the most wonderful carpets and blankets and tapestries for kings, princes and the ordinary man and woman to enjoy in their homes. Wilbur Pierce concludes in his article, “…the Holy Grail of rug weaving remains in the hand-woven designs and production that spanned a few centuries and now wear the title of antique. Now rare, these carpets have a pedigree and a patina, an almost unquantifiable aura about them that exudes quality, history and art in each knot.” 
If given the choice between a new rug and an antique rug I would always choose the latter. And, this is the heart and soul of NAZMIYAL ANTIQUE RUGS. I guarantee you that you will find the absolute best selection of antique carpets in all of New York City! Owned by Jason Nazmiyal, the showroom has an extensive collection of everything from classic antique through Art Deco beauties to mid century modern designs. My taste being more contemporary, I was beyond delighted to see how comprehensive the contemporary antique rug collection was, especially since I had no idea this marvelous source existed right under my nose across the street!
