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 makes a Persian rug antique?

A Persian rug is generally considered antique when it is roughly 100 years old or more. Age alone is not enough, though: the structure, hand-knotting, materials, dye character, regional design, condition, and restoration history all need to be consistent with genuine period weaving.

How can I tell if an antique Persian rug is authentic?

Turn it over. A genuine antique Persian rug should be hand-knotted, with the design visible on the back and no glued backing or mesh. The knots should show handwork rather than a mechanical uniformity, and the materials, color, wear, and structure should match the claimed age and origin. Expert inspection is the safest way to confirm authenticity."

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

An antique Persian rug is roughly 100 years old or more, while a vintage Persian rug is usually a 20th-century piece that has age and character but does not necessarily meet the antique threshold. Both can be authentic, hand-knotted Persian rugs; antiques are often the collector-grade pieces, while vintage rugs can be a more accessible way in.

How much does an antique Persian rug cost, and what determines its value?

Prices vary widely. Value depends on age, origin, fineness of weave, size, condition, restoration history, rarity, materials, dye character and overall beauty. A master-workshop piece such as a Mohtashem Kashan or Haji Jalili Tabriz may sit at the top collector tier, while a fine decorative antique Persian rug can be more accessible.

Are antique Persian rugs durable enough for everyday use?

Many are durable enough for daily use, especially sturdy village and regional weaves such as Heriz, Serapi and Bidjar. Finer city rugs, silk rugs and high-knot-count pieces may be better suited to formal or lower-traffic spaces. The right answer depends on the rug's structure, condition and intended room.

Where is the best place to buy antique Persian rugs?

The best place to buy an antique Persian rug is from a specialist who can explain the rug's origin, age, materials, condition and restoration history, rather than from a marketplace listing with a vague description. Nazmiyal has specialized in authenticated antique and vintage Persian rugs from our New York gallery since 1980, with expert guidance, detailed condition information and worldwide insured shipping.
