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.

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.
Sarab rugs, from Northwest Persia, represent a distinctive village weaving tradition closely related to Heriz carpets. Finely crafted and produced in rural workshops in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these rugs are best known for their artful geometry, elongated proportions and elaborate latticework. Woven from the region's superior wool, Serab rugs feature tight Turkish knots that create firm, resilient flooring well suited to heavy wear. Valued for their rich patterns and authentic character, Sarab rugs are enduring examples of Northwest Persian village craftsmanship.
