HEIR IMPERIAL MAJESTIES REQUEST…
A special order to the royal Qajar palace looms took place around 150 years ago to produce this lavish, ravishing Tehran masterpiece
Over 12 sqm of pure unadulterated finesse and beauty, knocking on the door of a higher perfection.
All silk flowers and highlights
All full pile, all original ends
Scampering animals & birds in the Safavid style
Is this the world’s only Sarab camel hair Garden Carpet?
It’s certainly the only one I know with so many greens and a total lack of blues.. and with such elegant trees and this amazing, amazing ivory field.
To know a great Qashqai is to love all Qashqai
I myself am in love with this heartbreaker and its gol farang medallions (uncommon), bowls of fruit (unusual), yurt border (unique), extra kilim design border (unbelievable), signature tribal chequered end finish (unmatched), and above all above all the glory of its all natural dyes (unreal).
When in doubt, check out the backside.
Wise words passed down to me across 4 generations of family trading. Always helpful.
My finetastic Kork Kashan is so so good that the back is even clearer than the front! The first 5 photos show the verso side, the other 5 the recto. Compare & enjoy
Antique Isfahan Wonder!
This gorgeous beauty was purchased by my grandfather over 50 years ago. It travelled across countries as our family business moved about and for the last few decades lay forgotten in our warehouses. Until I discovered it again—for the first time in my life—last week.
This is a relatively big size for old Isfahan. It’s intact with full end kilims and full pile. I love it. The drawing is immaculate and elegant. I love the central medallion and its abrashed camel hair, a relic of the XIX century Shoureshi school of ancient Isfahan.

Simply the most amazing antique Kashkuli Millefleurs I’ve ever seen - tribal art never looked so good.
Detail from a Qashqai pardeh boasting irresistible green & blue natural dyes and a remarkably tight weave. Larger and finer than all others I’ve seen, with a complex flower pattern and a flock of birds in the border.
Luxurious antique Isfahan of the highest quality. Exquisite border with a rare use of indigo. The lack of corner spandrels gives the field a more expansive feel. Equally decorative and attractive as an investment piece.

Mint condition
Insane green natural dye on this authentic masterpiece from the personal hand of the legendary Grand Master Mohtasham of Kashan Can you see how sophisticated and rich the design is? Pure omg omg .. mid XIX Century and not for sale.
Spoiler alert: one of my favourite rugs
I’m in love with the exuberance of this antique tribal Khamseh! It’s an exceptional piece in so many ways, but the overpowering beauty is what weakens my knees whenever I see it
The size is incredibly hard to find. Happiness trapped in a 7’ x 10’ frame (305 x 222 cm). These Morghy peacock rugs invariably are Kelleh proportioned, long and narrow. This, however, is generously balanced with amazing width
The awesomeness mostly resides in the terrific natural dyes. The turquoise blue is sublime. Simply sublime. Over 95% of these Khamseh rugs are dark blue. See the detail shots and you’ll notice the breathtaking appeal extends to all motifs and decorative sections. I absolutely love the colorful borders
This nomadic masterpiece is in superb condition after over 130 years of existence. It hasn’t lost an ounce of sparkle and is one of the most magical things I’ve had. The lady who created it was blessed with boundless taste and grace
Santa got me my Christmas present this week just in time for your Christmas shopping! Give us a call or walk right in.
Enjoy this attractive antique Heriz with its glowing natural dyes and elegantly crafted design. Absolutely mint condition with full pile and original ends - so hard to find them in such shape and with such beauty.

Xtremely rare size 270 x 190 cm
Full pile - mint condition !!
Gorgeous all over ivory field with excellent natural dyes - attractive light blues and greens
AAA - Absolutely Amazing Afshar
Not your average nomadic weave and not a typical Gol Farang rug. I love the little boteh rows at either end and the scattered tribal clutter in between the bouquets.
Full pile, mint condition, extant kilim ends and all the best you can hope for!

Detailed shots of the awesome Serapi gracing the back cover of halimagazine this month. It’s one of the prettiest I’ve had and we all know how rare ivory ones are. The large size is so hard to find in this quality. The natural dyes make it all work—be sure to spot the excellent sky blue splashed around the carpet. I love the quirk of two spandrels (field corners) being in peach red while the opposite two are in a delightful cafe au lait tone. Did you see the little camels?

Sometimes the stars align and a miraculous combination of style, beauty and grace is created.
HERIZMANIA—simply the most formidable woven art form. A raw expression of agility, wit, and pathos. Heartwarming, decorative, soulful and timeless.
Irrepressibly irresistible. A mint condition early Heriz with allover drawing and the most bodacious natural dyes ever. I never tire of looking at it and marvelling at the dexterity of the unnamed artist who created it.

Visually speaking, this really ought to be a Tehran but in fact it is an early Kashan from the Dabir generation. The all over Shah Abbas field of lotus flowers, palmettes, and arabesques is populated with lions, dragons and other mythical creatures--exactly what you would find on Tehran rugs. This makes it quite a unique find for a Kashan, especially with its cream field.

Magnificent Shoureshi Isfahan with 16 secret peacocks hidden gracefully within the stunning design.
Carpets of the early Shoureshi tradition like this boast attractive earthy tones and heartwarming natural dyes. The ivory field is complemented by a delightful camel coloured border.
The rotund medallion is elegantly silhouetted and detailed, a Babylonian sun disc with eye catching interior features. The detailing of the field and corner spandrels reveal more riches of the weaver’s masterful imagination.
The dimensions, as well as the drawing and composition, confirm this is a carpet over 100 years old from the beginning of the 20th century.
