Welcome to the Brian MacDonald Antique Rugs & Carpets Website
These wonderful pieces demonstrate the consummate skill of the weavers of
the 19th and early 20th centuries, who produced beautiful works of art in
primitive living conditions and hostile landscapes. The weavings show the rich
colour palette of natural dyes, which have mellowed for over 100 years. The
spontaneity of design and freedom of expression of the weaver makes each
one of these rugs, carpets and tribal bags, a woven work of art.
