The right antique rug doesn't just complete a room — it defines it. We work with interior designers and decorators across the country who understand that distinction, and who want a trusted source they can rely on project after project.
This isn't a discount program. It's a working relationship.
What a partnership looks like:
We take the time to understand your aesthetic and the kinds of projects you work on. When a piece arrives that fits — whether it's a rare Heriz for a formal living room or an unusual Kilim for a more eclectic space — you hear about it first.
Over time we learn your eye. You learn what we carry. That's when the relationship becomes genuinely useful.
The collection:
We carry more than 1,200 pieces spanning Persian, Afghan, Caucasian, Turkish, Chinese, and Navajo rugs, alongside tapestries, textiles, and quilts from around the world. Sizes range from small accent pieces to oversize gallery rugs. Most pieces date from the 19th and early 20th century — authenticated, curated, and ready to place.
Whatever the project calls for, there is likely something in our collection worth considering. And if we don't have it now, we may have it soon — new acquisitions arrive regularly.
What we offer trade partners:
- Trade pricing on all purchases
- Approval holds — pieces held while your client considers
- Condition reports and additional photography on any item before commitment
- Personal consultation by phone or email on any project
Why antique:
Every piece in our collection was handcrafted more than a century ago. That means no two are identical, provenance is traceable, and the sustainability story is real — something increasingly important to design-conscious clients. An antique rug is also an appreciating asset, which gives your clients an additional reason to invest.
How to get started:
We'd love to learn about your practice. A brief conversation or a link to your portfolio is all we need. From there we'll take it at whatever pace works for you.
