MAGIC CARPETS: THE PAZYRYK TO MODERN MASTERPIECES
Dear Oriental Rug Lovers,
Please join us on Saturday, May 3rd at 7PM for an educational lecture and the opening of our new exhibit, “Magic Carpets: The Pazyryk to Modern Masterpiece.”
During this evening we will go back 2500 years and explore the culture of the Scythians who are believed to have
woven the oldest rug in existence, the Pazyryk, which is now in the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
We will then peruse a magnificent collection of antique classical and village rugs which portray the enduring genius
of the weaver’s use of color and design through the ages. This will lead us to the present day Cultural Survival Rugs which are based on this ancient lineage and literally sparkle because of the integrity, quality and character with which
they were woven. All of these extraordinary rugs can be accessed on our web site.
The Magic Carpet will be donating a percentage of the profits from this sale to the Solutions Benefiting Life water
filter project to begin a production center in South India. We will also be selling an exquisite collection of late 20th
century Navajo, Zuni and Hopi jewelry with the proceeds being generously donated to fund this water project.

Welcome
Since 1980, The Magic Carpet has taken great pleasure in providing the community with a unique collection of antique, semi-antique and new Oriental rugs, with a special emphasis on one-of-a-kind tribal rugs. Come in and explore the fascinating world of Oriental rugs and feast your eyes on treasures from the East: Turkey, Russia(Caucasus), Persia(Iran), Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal and China.
The Magic Carpet has, during the last 23 years, gathered together an unparalleled collection of semi-antique and antique hand embroidered textiles from the Indian states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh.
We have also had the great fortune to be able to acquire a large and unique collection of museum quality antique Indian, Nepali and Tibetan statues.
We invite you to peruse our current inventory as well as enhance your appreciation for this ancient art form by studying and better understanding the rich tradition behind it.
The Magic Carpet has also been committed to providing all of the necessary services needed to maintain the timeless beauty of your Oriental rug: Washing, restoration, trading, appraising, home consultation, home trials and educational lectures.
look forward to exploring this fascinating world with you.
