The London Antique Rug & Textile Art Fair (LARTA) is a celebration of color and design. LARTA is the UK’s only specialist fair dedicated to the appreciation of antique rug and textile art. The event showcases fine textile art from East and Central Asia, Persia, India, Turkey, the Caucasus, Europe and Africa. 

LARTA is a fascinating experience for textile aficionados. The high caliber of textile knowledge is on par with the palpable passion the exhibitors have for these antique treasures. The enthusiasm and appreciation for the art form is infectious.

The 2020 show was the first visit for our Wild Life buyers. They found themselves settling in on the floor to peruse piles of tactile antiquity while listening to the stories behind each design. Exhibitors truly honor the full story and history, offering an extensive wealth of knowledge of the creation and original purpose of every piece.
