The destruction of Nigel Lendon’s best rugs in a flood in NSW Australia, has given a shock to Warrug. To see some of the very best rugs reduced to a bloody mess, has realigned my priorities. Rather than hold on to the rugs, it is better to get them into the world. Rather than keeping an excellent group of beautiful rugs in a few centralized locations, my goal is distribute them widely. Towards this goal, gifts to museums and institutions are underway. If you want a rug, now is the time. If you want a bunch of rugs, now really is the time. Contact me with questions and proposals.
The Drone and UXO rugs were made in Afghanistan, so getting more is currently impossible. The vintage War Rugs though are all marked down around 40%. Never in Warrug.com’s 25 years has there been a sale like this.
Subtle weapons rugs from the Herat Area discounted 40%.
Pictorial war rugs with landscapes and figures, discounted 40%.
Red rugs, like the first one that introduced me to this wonderful art, also heavily discounted.
