Preserving 45+ Years of Documented Rug Trade History
The international antique rug market is built on documentation, comparative analysis, and long-term experience. Maintaining a permanent archive allows collectors, designers, and scholars to reference real, documented examples that have circulated through the market.
This archive reflects Nazmiyal’s longstanding position within the trade, not as a passive observer, but as an active participant sourcing, evaluating, and placing museum-quality and decorative rugs worldwide.
