Cogito Art - Conscious, thinking art
(René Descartes: Cogito Ergo Sum)



BUY CONVENIENTLY FROM HOME, A LONG-TERM, VALUE-ADDING INVESTMENT !!!!

Our creed: CONSCIOUS LIFE APPROACH / VALUE CREATION AND TRADITION PRESERVATION / ECO AWARENESS

OUR MAIN ACTIVITY is the sale of only antiques and hand-knotted rugs, which we offer for sale after careful selection and expertise.

Careful and credible information to clients is my most important goal with my legal and art expertise. My husband, a specialist in restoration, learned the smallest tricks of furniture repair from old Transylvanian masters in addition to his education as a carpenter. With us, the rebirth of an object can be traced documented.

We are constantly researching pieces worthy of professional restoration and selecting classic and modern hand-knotted rugs to suit civic tastes.

We believe that a quality antique piece fits perfectly in modern homes. Everyday comfort can go hand in hand with antique elegance, a never-ending classic fashion.
In the case of hand-knotted Persian rugs, we place particular emphasis on finding and offering pieces that fit into European civil tastes. From the huge salon rugs to the smaller or more modern pieces, you can come across wool or silk rugs, exclusively and guaranteed handcrafted custom pieces.

Principle Awareness
Without roots, plants and we would not exist. Our world seems to be moving forward and evolving, finally realizing that we are back to basics again.
In an excessive consumer society, the natural, only now called bio, artisan, unique is considered special again.
Traditional things are an eternal value and an investment with excellent continuous value growth.
It is our creed to combine this with everyday usability with the feeling of the perfect ANTIQUE “new furniture” down to the smallest detail. From a light door or drawer opening to a pleasant scent.
And hand-knotted products are uniquely unique pieces that, due to their handicraft nature, also do not generate mass production. Its value is not decrease, but it grows reliably with age.

Our story
As a couple of art collectors, when we founded our collection, we didn’t even think we would ever get rid of any valuable and special items.
Elderly collectors-traders have said that every good art collector will trade one day, because his world of taste is constantly changing, refining and refining.
He is starting to sort more and more sophistically, his own pieces and unfortunately the possibilities are becoming more and more limited in space.
Love and attachment were coupled with rationalism over time. The pieces that are becoming more and more unique to us have really started to displace each other.

It was then that we advertised and sold the first piece, which was followed in turn by the others and the cycle stabilized.
To train ourselves, we delved deep into the world of the arts, studied the ages, styles, and thanks to our qualifications, we got a complete picture of 17-18-19-20. century European art.

With this knowledge, we try to help and guide people who are adventurous and conscious of buying art and who like art.
From style guide to home decor, we are at your disposal for you and your family.
