Serving the Rug World Since 1967
The Djoharian Collection: A Legacy of Artistry & Bespoke Rug Design
At The Djoharian Collection, we don’t just sell rugs; we curate heritage.
For over half a century, our family’s passion for authentic craftsmanship has led us across the globe, sourcing the finest hand-knotted masterpieces for discerning clients, interior designers, and collectors.
When you choose a piece from the The Djoharian Collection, you are not just buying a floor covering—you are investing in the soul of your home.
Our Philosophy: Sustainability by Nature. In an era of mass-produced synthetics, we remain committed to the purity of materials. Every rug in our collection is crafted from 100% renewable virgin wool and natural fibers like silk, mohair, alpaca or cashmere. We strictly reject plastic-based yarns, focusing instead on the biodegradable beauty and self-cleaning properties of high-quality sheep wool. Our rugs are built to last generations and, while they require professional care, they are designed to be "washable" by experts to maintain their luster for a lifetime.
Curated Collections: From Antique Souls to Modern Icons
Every unique piece is hand-picked by us for its structural integrity and artistic value.
- Collector Condition: Flawless originals or professionally restored masterpieces.
- Vintage & Worn to Perfection: One-of-a-kind rugs with a storied patina and a distressed look, perfect for soulful, modern interiors.
- The Global Palette: From the silk looms of Qum and Isfahan to the tribal authenticity of Moroccan Berbers and Turkish Kilims.
Your Vision, Our Loom: Bespoke Custom Rugs
Beyond our curated archive, we bridge the gap between tradition and your individual vision. Our Custom Made service allows you to become the architect of your own floor. We translate your specific interior requirements—be it a special size for a Manhattan loft or a unique color palette for a London townhouse—into a hand-knotted reality. Our expertise in interior design ensures that your bespoke rug becomes a foundational piece of art, tailored specifically to your space.
Ethics & Craftsmanship
Quality is inseparable from responsibility. We are dedicated to Fair Trade production, ensuring that the master artisans who knot our rugs work in dignified conditions. By choosing Djoharian, you support a circular economy of craftsmanship that values human skill and environmental integrity over industrial speed.
The Curator
„My name is Karl-Heinz Ahmad Djoharian, and I believe in the power of the unique. At The Djoharian Collection, we understand that a rug is the ultimate expression of interior design—it is the soul of a space. Since 1967, our family has rejected mass production in favor of refined, sustainable materials and the world’s finest craftsmanship. While I personally curate each vintage rarity, our bespoke commissions are an exclusive partnership: we work closely with both private clients and interior designers to transform a bespoke vision into a one-of-a-kind reality.“
