Bespoke & Custom Designed Hand-Woven Rugs, Carpets & Runners
Custom Order ProcessAs a lifelong collector of Rugs and Carpets I started designing for the trade, weavers and interior designers in the 1990's in NYC.
I continue that tradition by hand-drawing my own or custom drawings and commissioning the handweaving of these designs to the highest standards.
I support the use of natural unbleached wools, silks & vegetal dyes. Every step of the process is monitored including the use of mature weavers and upholding uncompromising quality standards.

Read About the Rug Spa & ClinicDo you have an antique Persian carpet or collectible Navajo rug you've had for years that needs to be cleaned or repaired?
Rugs are my passion! That is actually me in the original painting. While washing a Navajo Rug a customer painted me at work and sent the water colour as a gift.

Let customers speak for us
from 5 reviewsPositively and Highly Recommended! My wife and I have known Conan Brooks’s Art & Painting Appraisals for over 15 year and have purchased from him several remarkable paintings and beautiful artifacts. Mr. Brooks is an expert appraiser, highly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and a friendly person of high and rare qualities. His collection is unique and includes many marvelous artifacts in perfect condition, including museum quality artworks, precious antique rugs, unique furniture, and more. His prices and fees are always fair and never overpriced. Very highly recommended!

Brooks knows his stuff! I was never much into art until I turned 40 when I started taking an interest in it, but needed someone who really knew their stuff. Conan has helped me become more passionate about art and educated on what to buy without me always feeling so lost. Not only does he know virtually everything about art and its value, he can describe why something is cheap, fake, or extremely valuable. Plus, he has a sophisticated accent that meshes quite well with his skills.

The pot I purchased is beautiful, was well-packaged, shipped in a timely manner and has made a lovely addition to our home!

I’ve found Conan to be an exceptional resource when it comes to art—of all kinds. When I was looking for pieces to display in my home, Conan’s insight and keen eye were invaluable. I trust his expertise so much that I would rely on him to appraise any artwork I own. One of the biggest reasons I’d confidently purchase art through Conan is because he genuinely only selects pieces he knows are high-quality. His experience and understanding of rare, beautiful, and unique art speaks for itself. Beyond his taste, his communication style is what really sets him apart. He’s always willing to share his knowledge and walk you through the logic behind his recommendations, making the entire process not only fun but extremely informative.

When knowledge meet integrity and care you want to go here !
Great job !
Thank you guys

Conan washed several of my rugs and finished them before the estimated time to completion. He really knew his craft and did not damage my very delicate rugs.
