Textile Museum of Canada War Rug Database

This is a link to the Textile Museum of Canada’s War Rug Database. I use this excellent resource often, but it’s very hard to find on from the museums home page. There is a link in an earlier blog post, but this post will hopefully make finding these rugs simpler.

The rug above remains one of my favorites, and perhaps the most important war rug in the show organized by Max Allen.

UPDATED November 2021: Link to database updated, but new link produces sub-optimal collection printing few photos and important rugs not visible.

Sharing photos seems to be impossible now, but
here is a good Rustam rug with pictures, including very hi-res. Salt bag without photos.

About Kevin

Kevin Sudeith is an artist and the creator and curator of the war rug collection seen on warrug.com. Beginning as (and remaining) a collector, he began selling war rugs to learn as much as possible about the rugs. Later he sold what he calls "regular rugs" to better study rugs and their historical origins. Sudeith learned how war rugs related to traditional Afghan tribal and workshop rugs as well as the broader Turkmen and Persian rug traditions.
