Since 1980, Nazmiyal has helped clients on every continent find exceptional antique, vintage, and modern rugs for private residences, design projects, hospitality environments, and major collections.

“We have been doing this for 45 years,” says founder Jason Nazmiyal. “Every international client gets the same level of attention and expertise as someone walking through our door in New York.”

The World’s Most Comprehensive Rug Collection

Nazmiyal’s inventory spans the full history of rug-making, from rare 17th-century Persian palace carpets to mid-century Scandinavian flatweaves and bespoke modern commissions. Every piece is sourced, authenticated, and condition-reported by our in-house experts before it is offered to clients.

Why Buy from Nazmiyal Instead of an Online Marketplace?

Online marketplaces can be useful for browsing, but antique rugs require expertise. A listing alone cannot explain age, origin, condition, restoration, quality, decorative value or long-term suitability.

Nazmiyal gives buyers direct access to specialists who understand antique and vintage rugs. Our team can explain what makes a rug special, what condition issues matter, where a rug works best and whether it is appropriate for your home, design project or collection.

That expert layer is what separates a true rug gallery from an online listing platform. Nazmiyal has been operating as a trusted New York gallery since 1980 — every rug in our inventory is selected, reviewed and represented by specialists with decades of hands-on experience.
