The paradise of

More than a rug

A hand-knotted rug is more than a floor covering. It brings calm, structure and character to a room. The right choice of colour, pattern and quality ties your interior together as a whole.

Style starts from the floor

Wool dampens sound, silk catches the light. Together, they add colour and depth, and soften acoustics. The right rug anchors the seating area, guides foot traffic, and balances furniture and materials.

Timeless and surprisingly modern

Oriental rugs are sometimes thought to be old-fashioned. Quite the contrary: in modern interiors, classic hand-knotted carpets provide contrast and a powerful wow effect. The result? Sleek and warm, contemporary and full of character.

The right choice makes all the difference

Not every carpet fits in every space. The wrong colour, motif or size can make an interior restless. But the right carpet transforms your room into an attractive whole that exudes luxury and harmony.

Assurance with every purchase

Every carpet with an official certificate of authenticity

At Gallery Persepolis, every rug receives the proof it deserves: an official certificate of authenticity. It records the origin, the material and the knot density, giving you complete insight — including for antique and Persian rugs.

Isfahan Carpets

Isfahan rugs come from the city of Isfahan in central Iran, a cradle of Persian art. They are known for refined designs, superb craftsmanship and luxurious materials such as fine wool or silk.

Traditionally hand-knotted with floral and medallion patterns, they reflect the cultural legacy of the Persian Empire and remain among the most loved classical rugs for their elegance and durability.

The rugs have a sophisticated mix of colours, with the prominent use of deep blues, reds and soft creams, creating a striking contrast that highlights their artistic quality.

Restore the beauty, preserve the value

Gallery Persepolis specialises in the careful cleaning and restoration of authentic hand-knotted carpets. Using traditional techniques, we restore shine and suppleness, so that beauty and value are preserved.

Traditional carpet cleaning

We clean by hand using tried and tested techniques, without harsh chemicals. Dirt and sand are safely removed while pile and fibre remain intact, whether it is low-pile or high-pile.

Artisan restoration

We restore edges, motifs and loose knots in line with the original knotting technique and style. From wool to silk, damage is discreetly repaired and the carpet is carefully flattened again.

Our customers share their experiences discovering hand-knotted Persian rugs, restoring heirlooms, and adding timeless art to their interiors.

“I bought a Gabbeh rug privately and brought it to Persepolis for cleaning. They use traditional methods, and the rug now is beautiful. Ilia was very clear in describing the traditional cleaning method and in letting me know just how long it might take. Excellent service and communication.”
“Bought a beautiful kilim! Great service! Had selected three rugs that the gentleman came straight to my home so that I could see them lying around and choose the most suitable one for my living room. I am very happy with it. TOP SERVICE!”
