Our Fine Persian Rugs & Carpets Sale presents a curated collection of handwoven pieces that exemplify the depth and diversity of Persian weaving traditions. This carefully assembled offering includes a range of sought-after styles, from the elegant floral compositions of Kashan and Tabriz to the bold geometry of Heriz rugs and the richly symbolic designs of Bakhtiari weavings.

Buyers will encounter carpets featuring central medallions, intricate palmette and foliate motifs, and detailed panel work - many framed by beautifully executed scrolling borders and traditional guard stripes. With palettes ranging from deep indigos and crimsons to softer ivory and wheat tones, the selection offers pieces suited to both classical and contemporary interiors.

Whether you are acquiring a refined city weave, a characterful tribal design, or a decorative statement piece, this sale offers a rare opportunity to secure a rug of enduring beauty and craftsmanship.
