What Makes an Oriental Carpet Truly Exceptional?
Collecting antique carpets begins with appreciation, but it often develops into a deeper understanding of history, craftsmanship and authenticity.
Age alone does not determine the importance of a carpet. Collectors consider many elements, including the quality of the weaving, materials, colours, design, condition, rarity and provenance.
A truly exceptional piece brings these qualities together in a way that gives it lasting character.
For this reason, knowledge is an important part of collecting. Understanding where a carpet comes from, how it was made and what makes its design significant can transform the experience from simply owning a beautiful object into preserving a piece of cultural heritage.
At SH. SAMEYEH, our approach has always been rooted in knowledge, experience and a deep appreciation for exceptional Oriental carpets.
