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.

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.

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.

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.

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 rugs from Morocco different from other tribal rugs?

Moroccan rugs are distinguished by their domestic and personal origin — made primarily by women weavers within the community, for household use, encoding personal and tribal symbolism into the geometry rather than following standardized design systems. Unlike Persian workshop rugs planned in advance through design cartoons, Moroccan rugs are woven from memory and individual expression, giving them an irreplaceable individuality.

Where in Morocco are the best rugs made?

The most internationally recognized tradition is the Middle Atlas, home to the Beni Ourain confederation whose ivory-and-dark geometric pile rugs became icons of modernist design. The High Atlas produces the more colorful Azilal tradition. The Atlantic coast cities of Fez and Rabat produced more structured flatwoven pieces. Each region has a distinct visual character shaped by local materials, tribal community, and geographic isolation.

What is the difference between Beni Ourain and Berber rugs?

Beni Ourain is a specific tribal tradition from the Middle Atlas — typically ivory pile with dark linear geometry. Berber (Amazigh) is a broader cultural designation encompassing many Moroccan tribal weaving traditions including Beni Ourain, Azilal, Beni Mguild, and others. All Beni Ourain rugs are Berber, but not all Berber rugs are Beni Ourain.

Are vintage Moroccan rugs eco-friendly?

Genuinely vintage Moroccan rugs are among the most sustainable textiles available. They were woven with natural wool, often dyed with vegetable and mineral dyes, and made to last for generations. Buying a vintage or antique Moroccan rug supports no new production — you are simply extending the useful life of an existing handmade object of cultural value.

Can I buy a Moroccan rug remotely from Nazmiyal?

Yes. Nazmiyal has sold Moroccan rugs to collectors and designers worldwide for decades. We provide detailed condition reports, precise measurements, and high-resolution photography. Our 3-day return policy applies — if the rug is not right for your space, you may return it.
