The Persian carpet has been long known for its artistic magnificence. The element of luxury with which Oriental carpets are associated today provides a marked contrast with its humble beginning among the nomadic tribes that at one time wandered the great expanse of Persia in search of their livelihood.

When we, the Bagheri family, first journeyed from Tehran to Asia, it wasn't merely to trade in hand knotted carpets and rugs, but to showcase the largest handmade oriental carpet and rug collections in the region, with unrivalled range and variety. But thats not all.
Generations of our family have meticulously woven a priceless tapestry of our own. One of closely knit relationships with the most famous master weavers and renowned workshops, producing the most exquisite traditional Persian carpets as well as the most fashionable contemporary carpets in vogue. These invaluable ties benefit our clients in terms of unquestionable quality and authenticity, value and choice of size, color, shape; material and styles.
We travel the far flung borders of hand knotted carpet producers worldwide to acquire the best carpet collections at source, be they Modern, Tribal, Kilim, Renaissance, Silk, Antique & Collectable, City Master Weave; as well as exclusive customized modern carpets uniquely designed for a particular client.
