At TEFAF Maastricht 2026 (March 14—19), Gallery Persepolis will host collectors and art lovers at Sint Pieterstraat 34, a few minutes from the MECC.

Gallery Persepolis is open throughout the TEFAF week. At TEFAF, we welcome art lovers, collectors and interior designers for an informal visit or a personal tour by appointment.
A real hand-knotted carpet has an irregular back where each knot is individually visible. The knot density — measured in knots per cm² — determines the fineness and value. During TEFAF week, you can view and compare each piece up close at Gallery Persepolis, each accompanied by full documentation about origin and authenticity.
High-quality hand-knotted carpets retain their value and often increase over the years — if properly maintained. Every year, TEFAF Maastricht attracts the world's most critical collectors and experts, showing that authentic craftsmanship remains timeless and valuable. Gallery Persepolis offers the same quality, away from the fair — with personal consultation on each piece.
TEFAF offers an impressive overview of art and craftsmanship at a global level.
