The evening includes dinner with selections from some of Portland's best restaurants, silent and live art auctions and a live performance from the incomparable Cirque Du Soleil. Visit the CAP Art Auction website for more information on how you can help CAP, and and maybe win some great home furnishings!

All funds raised support the vital work of Cascade AIDS Project. Our mission is to lead efforts to prevent new HIV infections, care for people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS, educate communities to eliminate stigma and shame and advocate for immediate action in combating the pandemic.

Save 25% on all Rugs for Earth Day

Celebrate Earth Day with 25% Savings on all in-stock handmade rugs at Madison Millinger for the rest of the month of April.



Hand-woven rugs have been “green” long before the concept was even thought of. Our rugs are made entirely by hand with virtually no machinery. Both the wool of the pile and the cotton of the foundation are completely renewable and readily available. The fibers are combed by hand and spun by hand using a foot pedal for power. All natural vegetal dyes are often used and the rugs are woven and finished all by hand.

The Pinnacle of Recyclability
Hand-woven rugs also provide the ultimate recycling opportunity; they last for decades and therefore can be passed on for generations. A refreshing idea in today’s overly-disposable world.

Woven Legends Limited Collection

In early January, fine rug-maker Woven Legends invited 12 of the premier dealers around the county to their Philadelphia headquarters to view their latest rugs. The limited collection was made available to the dealers on a lottery basis, and Madison Millinger had the good fortune of being selected as the second dealer to choose rugs from the incredible collection. These beautiful and very special rugs have now arrived in Portland, and you can be among the first to view these rugs by visiting our showroom now. These hand-woven rugs are all one-of-a-kind, and won't stay in-stock long!

Welcome Nick Coyle to Madison Millinger

Madison Millinger is pleased to welcome Nick Coyle to our team of experienced rug experts. Beginning in the late 90's, Nick worked extensively in hand-made carpet production learning about wool qualities, vegetable dying techniques, and weaving methods. After moving to Peshawar, Pakistan to study carpet production under his mentor, Nick returned to America as director of Texere, a boutique collection of organically textured carpets made in Pakistan. He then went on to open design center showrooms for Lapchi in the Chicago Merchandise Mart and Los Angeles Pacific Design Center.

Nick served as the showroom director for the Lapchi LA showroom until an irresistable opportunity arose once again to move closer to the source of carpet weaving, this time to Nepal where he oversaw made-to-order and quality control for Lapchi. He has recently moved back to Portland and has joined with Madison Millinger where he will be putting his extensive knowledge to work as a resource for the design trade, and deepening clients' understanding and appreciation for the art of high-end hand-made carpets. Visit Madison Millinger today and meet Nick and our entire team of rug experts, and enjoy a cappuccino in our beautiful new Pearl District showroom.

Our new location will enable us to work more efficiently, while still offering great benefits to our customers.
