Curious Objects Podcast:
Learning to Love Antique Rugs with Jan David Winitz
We were delighted that our president, Jan David Winitz, was approached by The Magazine Antiques to do a two-part interview for their popular podcast series, “Curious Objects.” We invite you to listen to Part 1 which aired on September 11, 2024.
In this segment, host Ben Miller diligently asks Mr. Winitz about the unique and emotionally fetching artistry and craftsmanship of antique Oriental rugs. Winitz responds with in-depth commentary on one of the jewels of his private collection as a springboard into the minds of the weavers, their influences, and their unique aesthetic. Relying on his 45 years of introducing this art form to clients and collectors, he discusses how the weavers expressed the balance and harmony of the natural world around them through the medium of their rugs.
