Mavyan Carpets carries many products from Caravan Modern as they are one of the leading visionaries in modern couture rugs. Their esteemed design group has the most sufficient and refined approach in captivating and introducing new designs to the modern world. A philosophy focused on quality control as the key element in the making of a fine work of art. And, applying it in a way that bridges the gap between yesterday, today and tomorrow’s design concepts. Caravan Modern’s dedication plays a big factor in making the most complex and unique designs that the industry is most sought after.
We find that Caravan Modern provides Nepalese rugs are unlike any other. Using a blend of Tibetan and New Zealand wool with accents of silk gives these rugs a visual depth and design that no other region has matched. It wasn’t until the mid 1900’s that the outside world began to see Tibetan rugs in the Western global market. Ever since, they have become an essential part of the magical experience in home design.
Since 1921 Michaelian & Kohlberg has been a premier source for fine hand-made decorative carpets woven in Nepal, India and China. With original and sophisticated designs that range from traditional to ultra contemporary, Michaelian & Kohlberg carpets create a beautiful and luxurious foundation for today’s finest interiors.
At Mavyan Carpets we are proud of Michaelian & Kohlberg’s firm support of the Indian government’s efforts to eliminate all child labor in India. Each of their looms is registered with the Indian Government and is strictly inspected to insure compliance with Indian Child Labor laws. A portion of the proceeds of each exported carpet is donated to a fund which pays for the establishment of schools in carpet weaving areas, provides lunches for the students at these schools and pays for mobile care vans to provide medical treatment to the children.
All the carpets from Michaelian & Kohlberg may be custom ordered with any color combination, style, and size. We have many resources here at Mavyan Carpets to assist you to determine specific needs and to demonstrate the final look of a custom carpet.
