My wife and I are so pleased with the antique Uzbek Bokhara Rug purchased from the Nazmiyal Collection. Not only does the rug have a spectacular design, it also was very reasonably priced. The way it transforms our living room, reconciling the classic modern furniture with the 1913 Craftsman interior is remarkable.

Terence Hayes

I have purchased multiple rugs at multiple Nazmiyal auctions and I am extremely pleased with the quality, price, and experience. Highly recommended!

Victor Florintsev

The only ones I'd ever buy rugs from. The best.

Jeffrey NeumanB

I bought two gorgeous Serapi rugs from Farhad at Nazmiyal Rugs! Beautiful carpets, fair prices and great service. Very happy customer. Farhad (the sales person) was very patient and gave us great service.

john haid

Alen is a gentleman and an expert. Really great to work with.

Edward Yasuna

I recently purchased a modern Kandinsky rug from Nazmiyal Auctions. It was just as described, and the director (Farhad) of the auctions had it sent to me quickly and safely. Payment was easy, the rug was reasonably priced, and I highly recommend Nazmiyal Auctions and Antique Rugs. Quality merchandise and first-class service.

Nicholas Carr

Had a excellent experience buying a rug in Nazmiyal's 1/18/26 online auction. First, prior to the auction, viewing a number of lots at the 32nd St showroom (I had prepared a list from the online catalog). The staff were great to work with: helpful, knowledgable, honest, and flexible. Second, after placing an online bid and winning the desired item, arranging payment and pickup was simple and straightforward. Everything went seamlessly and the overall experience was educational and fun. Many thanks to Jason and his team.

Andrea Gared

Everyone at Naziyal is proffessional, especially Jason and Farhad. They are knowledgeable, truthful, and true gentlemen. I have sold several rugs through them and will always go to them first, to buy or sell. The best in the business!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an antique rug and a vintage rug?

Antique rugs are generally defined as pieces over 80 years old — typically woven before 1945. Vintage rugs are younger, usually from the mid-20th century onward. Antique rugs are more likely to use natural fibers and dyes, carry greater historical significance, and command higher values in the collector market. Vintage rugs are prized primarily for their decorative appeal and period design.

How can I tell if an antique rug is authentic?

Authentic antique rugs show hand-knotted construction visible on the reverse, natural fibers (wool, silk, cotton), integrated fringe that extends from the warp threads, and dye behavior that has softened and developed patina over decades. Any rug that is machine-made or hand-tufted is not a genuine antique, regardless of how it is marketed.

What makes antique rugs more valuable than modern rugs?

Three things: rarity, materials, and irreproducibility. The hand-spun wool, natural dyes, and regional weaving traditions that produced the great antique rugs of the 19th and early 20th centuries no longer exist in their original form. The supply of genuine antiques can only decrease over time, while the supply of modern reproductions is effectively unlimited.

Are antique rugs a good investment?

The finest examples — those with strong provenance, intact original materials, clear regional attribution, and exceptional design — have demonstrated consistent long-term value. The auction record for a single antique rug stands at $34 million. Collectors should approach antique rugs as cultural assets first, with financial appreciation as a secondary benefit rather than a guarantee.

What types of antique rugs work best in modern interiors?

Oushak rugs are among the most versatile — their warm, softened palettes and spacious designs integrate naturally into contemporary rooms. Caucasian rugs bring bold geometry that complements minimalist architecture. Persian Sultanabad and Serapi rugs offer large-scale decorative presence without the formality of city workshop rugs. The key is scale: a rug should anchor the room, not disappear beneath the furniture.

How do I buy an antique rug remotely from Nazmiyal?

Nazmiyal has sold antique rugs to collectors and designers worldwide for decades. We provide detailed condition reports, precise measurements, and high-resolution photography for every piece. Our specialists are available to answer questions by phone or email before any commitment is made.

What is the difference between antique Persian rugs and other antique rugs?

Persian rugs come from Iran and represent one specific — though exceptionally broad — weaving tradition. Antique rugs is a wider category that includes Persian rugs alongside Turkish, Caucasian, Chinese, Indian, European, and many other traditions. Persian rugs are the most widely collected antique rugs globally, but other traditions — particularly Caucasian tribal rugs and French Savonnerie carpets — have their own dedicated collector markets.

Are antique rugs durable enough for everyday use?

Yes — most antique rugs were made for household use and are entirely appropriate for everyday life. Village and tribal rugs such as Heriz, Kazak, Bidjar, and Oushak are particularly durable and well-suited to high-traffic areas. Finer city workshop rugs and silk pieces are better suited to lower-traffic settings or display.
