Buy Antique Rugs Across the United States, Canada, and Mexico
Nazmiyal helps clients across North America buy antique, Persian, vintage, modern, and custom rugs from our New York City gallery. For buyers in the United States, this is the most direct version of the Nazmiyal buying experience: qualifying purchases may include free outbound U.S. shipping, domestic delivery does not require customs duties or VAT, and clients can view rugs in person at our Manhattan gallery before choosing. Buyers in Canada and Mexico can also work with Nazmiyal from New York, with cross-border shipping, insurance, documentation, and destination-specific duties or taxes handled according to current purchase and shipping terms.

Why Buying an Antique Rug in North America Is Different
North America is Nazmiyal’s home market, and that changes the buying experience for local customers. For United States clients, rugs ship domestically from New York without custom duties, import taxes, or VAT. Clients and their designers may also visit the Nazmiyal gallery in Midtown Manhattan to see rugs in person, compare pieces side by side, and speak with the specialists who handled the collection.
Our showroom is open for viewing every day of the week. See our contact page for more information on our hours of operation and NYC showroom location.
The proximity to our showroom makes a big difference when looking at our one-of-a-kind antique and vintage rugs. A photograph cannot fully convey scale, pile, texture, or the way wool responds to light. North American clients have the benefit of seeing the product for themselves far more easily than international clients can. With direct access to the showroom and specialist guidance, North American clients can commit to their purchase with 100% clarity before the rug is even shipped.
Featured Rug Types for North American Interiors
For North American homes, designers and collectors often consider several different rug families depending on the room, architecture, and desired mood. Antique Persian rugs can bring historic pattern and color to formal rooms, vintage rugs can soften modern interiors, and American weaving traditions can add regional character to a collection.
North American collectors also look to Nazmiyal for pieces tied to the continent’s own weaving traditions. This includes American rugs, hooked rugs, and Navajo weavings, alongside our broader range of international weavings like antique Persian, Turkish, Caucasian, European, Moroccan, and Tribal carpets. If you are unsure what size to choose, our rug size guide is a useful starting point before reaching out.
How Buying Works Across the US, Canada, and Mexico
United States
Rugs ship from New York to clients across the United States, professionally packed and insured. Qualifying US purchases may include free outbound shipping, as well as any perks that come with domestic shipments. This means US buyers do not have to navigate custom duties, import taxes, or VAT. Private consumer purchases may also qualify for Nazmiyal’s 3-day in-home approval period, where customers have up to 3 days after their order arrives to experience the rug in their space before making a final commitment. Clients can arrange to view rugs at the Manhattan gallery before purchase, with Nazmiyal specialists advising on size, placement, condition, color, and how a specific rug will work in the desired room.
Canada
Nazmiyal ships antique rugs to clients across Canada, including major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Calgary. Shipments cross the border from New York with insurance and documentation. Canadian clients should confirm shipping, insurance, customs clearance, and any applicable GST, HST, duties, brokerage charges, or local taxes before purchase. See our Canada page for more.
Mexico
Clients in Mexico, including Mexico City, can purchase antique, Persian, vintage, and modern rugs from Nazmiyal in New York. Shipments to Mexico are handled as international orders, with shipping, insurance, documentation, customs clearance, and any applicable duties, VAT/IVA, brokerage charges, or local taxes treated according to current purchase terms and destination requirements. See our Mexico page for details.
