Designed around how you work
See it in the room, not just on screen. Hold a rug while your client decides, then try it in situ before anyone commits. Colour and scale look different in every light, so we make it easy to be sure.
An edit, not an endless catalogue. Every piece in the gallery is chosen by Nasim: antique Persian rugs from Heriz, Tabriz and Mashhad, Caucasian rugs such as Shirvan, mid-century Swedish kilims, runners and tribal weavings. Fewer rugs, each one worth considering.
Honest advice on age, wear and care. Nasim started as a restorer. He'll tell you how a rug was made, how it has worn, and whether it will suit a family kitchen or a quiet bedroom, so you can advise your client with confidence.
Something your client won't find anywhere else. Antique rugs can't be reordered or copied. The piece you choose will be the only one.

Frequently asked questions
Are designer prices shown on the website?
No. Prices on the website are retail. Designer pricing is shared once you join the programme.
Do I need to be a registered designer?
We welcome practising interior designers, stylists and architects. We may ask to see your website or portfolio.
Can I try a rug in my client's home?
Yes. Tell us where the project is and we'll arrange it.
Can you find a rug to a specific size or palette?
Often. Antique rugs come in their own sizes, so we'll show you what's realistic and the closest options.
How do I know a rug's condition?
We describe age, wear and any repairs honestly, and send extra close-ups or video on request.
Can you restore or clean a client's existing rug?
Yes. Restoration and cleaning are part of what we do.
