The de Young Museum in San Francisco will present “The McCoy Jones Collection: Textiles from Central Asia and the Middle East” from 29 November 2025 to 24 May 2026. The exhibition showcases one of the most important American collections of nomadic and tribal textiles from Central Asia and the Near and Middle East.
Drawn from the holdings of Caroline McCoy Jones and H. McCoy Jones, the display includes wedding embroideries, domestic and furnishing textiles, and a wide range of nomadic weavings from regions such as Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
The exhibition also features a contemporary textile sculpture by Azerbaijani artist Faig Ahmed, known for his reworked carpet designs that appear to flow or dissolve beyond their traditional boundaries.
For collectors and enthusiasts of oriental rugs and textiles, the show offers an opportunity to see exceptional pieces that illuminate both the artistic vocabulary and cultural history of Central Asian and Middle Eastern weaving.
