The paradise of

Traditional & modern rugs with character

A hand-knotted carpet is more than just a rug. It provides warmth, character and style. The right choice in color, pattern, quality and size takes your interior to a higher level.

Style starts from the floor

Wool dampens sound, silk catches the light. Together, they add color 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 color, motif or size can make an interior restless. But the right carpet transforms your room into an attractive whole that exudes luxury and harmony.

Isfahan Carpets

Isfahan rugs are handmade carpets from the city of Isfahan in central Iran, with a rich Persian art history. They are known for their intricate designs, high-quality 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 are loved by collectors and decorators for their elegance and durability.

Restore the beauty, preserve the value

Gallery Persepolis specializes 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 fiber 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.

“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!”
