Burnished by time and imbued with history, our unrivaled collection of vintage and antique rugs has been curated with an artist's eye for uncommon beauty, character, quality and provenance. Crafted by generations of nomadic weavers, villagers and historic workshops, each rug is made by hand and tells a unique story of a place and a people, expressing their craft in one-of-a-kind creations. From the royal carpets of Agra to masterful French Aubussons, the jewel motifs of classical Persians to the geometry of Turkish Oushaks, our singular rugs represent the world's finest rug-making traditions.

Mahal rugs, woven in the Mahallat region of central Persia, are known for their village-based craftsmanship and relaxed interpretation of classical Persian design. Produced primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these rugs often feature large-scale, stylized motifs with a distinctly informal aesthetic. Hand knotted from wool, thick yarns produce dense pile, inviting texture and rich, abrash shading. Valued for their balance of tradition and rustic character, Mahal rugs are prized for their versatility and enduring quality.
