Persian Rugs — Antique, Vintage and Modern Carpets
The Djoharian Collection — A Heritage of Curatorial Excellence
“With over five decades of expertise, we bridge the gap between ancient Safavid craftsmanship and the requirements of discerning modern interiors in the United States, the United Kingdom and across Europe.”
The Zenith of Weaving — Safavid Influence & Museum Standards
The historical significance of our collection is rooted in the Safavid Dynasty (1501–1736). Under Shah Abbas I, court manufactories transformed utilitarian carpets into sophisticated architectural expressions. These classical designs — celebrated today in institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Victoria and Albert Museum — reflect a celestial symmetry mirroring mosque domes and the paradise gardens of Persian literature.
Curating for International High-End Interiors
The Djoharian Collection is specifically curated for the aesthetic demands of premier coastal and metropolitan markets. In Miami and Palm Beach, our luminous Ghom silk rugs complement vibrant coastal luxury. For the brownstones of New York and London, we provide durable Bidjar and fine Tabriz masterpieces that serve as “textural anchors”, harmonising centuries of craftsmanship with industrial or minimalist settings.

Technical Durability & Underfloor Heating
Natural hand-knotted textiles possess excellent thermodynamic properties, facilitating efficient heat transfer for modern underfloor heating systems while protecting the wool’s natural oils.

Every piece in the Djoharian Collection includes a certified appraisal. We reference the Jozan Carpet Encyclopedia and international auction standards to ensure historical authenticity.
