Antique rugs are (almost) forever
Like antique furniture, these rugs possess a unique patina that only comes with age and cannot be replicated. The soft, muted hues of antique rugs—light blues, saffron yellows, terracottas, and faded reds—make them particularly coveted.
Antique pieces have been cherished across centuries and continents, offering an array of styles, provenances, qualities, and prices. In today’s dynamic interiors, the age-old charm of antique rugs seamlessly integrates with modern decor. Oriental carpets, with their intricate patterns and rich histories, stand as timeless additions to any home, embodying a harmonious blend of classic artistry and contemporary aesthetics.
The Alberto Levi Gallery opened in 1997, following a family tradition that dates back to the nineteenth century. Focusing initially on antique carpets and textiles, it specialised in tribal and village rugs from Morocco, Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Persia, traditional rugs from China, India, and Central Asia, and 20th-century Art Deco and Modernist rugs.
The taste around us might have changed, but Alberto Levi’s passion and love for antique rugs only deepened.
This love is truly forever.
