Designer Edits: Antique Rugs Selected for Interior Designers

Designer Edits are short, hand-picked selections from the Rugs On Net collection for interior designers, architects and their clients. Each edit brings together a dozen rugs across the sizes projects actually need, from scatter rugs to oversize carpets, so you can present a direction to a client in minutes. Every rug is in stock in New York, and every product page has a tear sheet you can save as a PDF, with or without the price.

Trade members get trade pricing, memo on approved accounts and a dedicated contact: apply to the trade program. To see any of these rugs in person, book a visit to our showroom at 36 East 31st Street.

The Walter Nichols Edit

Walter Nichols ran the Tientsin workshops whose 1920s and 1930s Art Deco carpets defined the look of Chinese Deco: saturated jewel grounds, open fields and floral sprays that sit as comfortably in a modern apartment as in a period room. Every rug in this edit shows the soft, shaded ombre coloring in its flowers, leaves or rocks that marks the Nichols workshops, and the edit covers sizes from small rugs to large carpets. Read the Walter Nichols story.

The Art Deco Edit

Chinese Art Deco rugs from the Tientsin and Peking workshops of the 1920s and 1930s: geometric borders, cloud bands and softly faded palettes that work with modern and mid-century interiors. Browse the full collection of more than 700 Chinese Art Deco rugs.

The Collector’s Chinese Edit

Nineteenth century and earlier Ningxia and Peking rugs for clients who collect: classic dragon, bat and cloud band motifs, natural dyes and the soft wear that only age gives. Rugs On Net has one of the largest collections of antique Chinese rugs in the United States, with more than 1,850 antique pieces. For the rarest pieces, see our collection highlights. Explore all antique Chinese rugs, Ningxia rugs and Peking rugs.
