Persia, also known as modern day Iran, is home to a cultural and artistic history that boasts a prime selection of antiques. The diversity of antiques within the Mayfair Gallery collection reflects a wealth of materials and techniques. Our woven wool collection displays a variety of Persian rugs which are renowned globally for their craft. Each a unique work of art, our selection of rugs are made from the highest quality and luxurious fabrics from Persia.

Our selection from the Persian Qajar period, which began in 1785 until 1925, foregrounds Persian artistic innovation throughout this era. The Qajar period refers to the ruling dynasty of Iran during this time, the art of this time reflective of the European influence on Persian culture, especially in regard to the royalty and noble classes.
