The association between William Randolph Hearst, Sr. and S. Kent Costikyan goes back to the turn of the 20th Century. The Herst-Costikyan relationship continued over the years between R. Hearst Jr. and Clarke W Costikyan. What is of historic interest is that S. Kent was a guest at the formal opening of San Simeon and Clarke was the carpet appraiser upon the Hearst family gifting San Simeon and its collection to the state of California.  

The third and the fourth generation of Costikyans were called upon by the present Executive Director of the Hearst Castle, Hoyt Fields, to provide a proposal for the restoration of the Lever Kirman Carpet. | click to read more |

COSTIKYAN  >> FABRICATION DEPARTMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At Costikyan Fabrication is a unique process that features several main steps. In essence, it's a two pronged approach whereas carpet colors are inlaid into a field piece and then carved and sculptured. This carving technique can have a stunning three dimensional effect.

Over the years, techniques for custom rug fabrication have been fine tuned. Now the current custom rugs being produced today can easily match the highest quality tufted wool rugs.

The flexibility of this product is appealing as well, this is because custom shapes and sizes are easily accommodated. Typical rectangular rugs are ok, yet it's now possible to create free flowing organic shapes that have an impressive custom look and feel.

We specialize in custom rug fabrication and feature design ideas to spark your interests. Designs can be inspired from your own interior themes, fabrics, and artwork.
