Most of these designs are available in the following sizes: 4x6, 5x7, 6x9, 8x10, 9x12, and 10x14. Smaller sizes and hall runners are also available in a more limited range of designs. Many of our designs can be produced in custom sizes, call for availability. Details and pricing for Arts and Crafts rugs

Antique Reproductions
This 19th Century Revival collection features Persian Heriz, Serapi, Mahal, Sultanabad, and Turkish Oushak designs of the 1880-1910 period. The carpets are produced in India and Turkey using hand spun yarn. To achieve a high level of authenticity we have selected beautiful examples of these designs from our superb collection of antique carpets. We have reproduced the designs exactly in every detail, providing the look and feel of a true antique at a fraction of the cost of the original. Also available is the fabulous line of Oushaks from RUGS BY ROBINSON and true vegetable dyed carpets from WOVEN LEGENDS made with hand spun wool.

Tibetan and Contemporary Collection
We are authorized dealers for the five major producers of Tibetan carpets - TUFENKIAN TIBETAN CARPETS, ODEGARD, THE TIBETAN RUG COMPANY, TAMARIAN TIBETAN CARPETS, and ROYAL INTERCONTINENTAL. Additional inventory of Tibetan weave carpets from both Nepal and India is stocked in a variety of classic, transitional and contemporary designs.

Kelims and Gabbehs
In addition to the extensive line of Kelims and Soumaks by NOURISON, we also carry one-of-a-kind, very affordable, new Chinese and Turkish Kelims hand-selected for their decorative appeal. We often have in stock antique pieces from Turkey, the Caucasus, and Persia as well as Bessarabians from Eastern Europe. Lastly, we are developing our own line of antique reproductions copied from beautiful, turn of the century designs. This line is exact in every detail including the use of vegetable dyes.

A tradition of Southwestern Iranian weavers, the Gabbeh carpet is produced by the nomadic Lori, Qashqai, and Bakhtiari tribes. Each one is an expression of the weaver as artisan. Gabbehs are made from the finest hand-spun Persian wool and vegetable dyes. Our stock is constantly changing as we buy and sell these unique carpets.
