L'Antiquaire · The Collection
Woven From More Than One Country
Carpets & Rugs

A Cairo drawing room in 1910 might have stood on a Persian carpet, beneath a French chandelier, beside Ottoman brass — and no one thought to remark on it, because this city has always absorbed rather than chosen sides. The carpets in this collection carry that same layered origin: woven elsewhere, worn here, part of a floor that has held a hundred years of gatherings.

Did You Know? A carpet's provenance can often be read from its knot density alone — Persian carpets typically carry 120–800 knots per square inch, while Turkish kilims use a flat-weave technique with no knots at all. Each method tells a different story of origin.
