Our Approach
The Nazmiyal Standard
At Nazmiyal Collection, authentication is not a checklist — it is a discipline developed over 45 years of examining, acquiring, and placing antique rugs with people who understand what they are buying. Our specialists consider materials, weave, age, condition and period consistency when evaluating rugs.
Our inventory spans the full canon of classical weaving: Sultanabad and Tabriz from Persia, Oushak and Hereke from Anatolia, Kazak and Shirvan from the Caucasus, Beni Ourain and Azilal from Morocco. Each category has its own literature, and each brings its own history and design vocabulary.
We provide available details about age, materials, condition and restoration to help customers make informed decisions. Ask our specialists for information about a specific rug.

Questions Collectors Ask
Our specialists are available to answer questions about authentication, acquisition, and the collection.
Contact a SpecialistHow do I know a rug is truly antique?
Nazmiyal’s specialists evaluate every piece on three criteria: fiber and natural dye chemistry, weave structure consistent with the claimed period, and provenance documentation where available. A rug is generally considered antique at 100 years or older, and our specialists can discuss available dating and condition information.
Do you buy or consign rugs?
We purchase antique and vintage rugs outright and also accept select pieces on consignment. Our team reviews acquisition inquiries. You can submit photographs through our website or bring a rug to our New York City gallery for an in-person evaluation.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Please contact our team for shipping options, insurance and international delivery details for your order.
Do you work with interior designers?
Interior designers make up a significant part of our clientele. Please contact our team about trade services and sourcing for your projects.
Can I view rugs in person before purchasing?
Yes. Our gallery at 31 East 32nd Street, 2nd Floor, in Midtown Manhattan is open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday 10 am to 5 pm; Sundays are by appointment. Contact our team if you need additional photographs or condition information.
