Welcome to Persian Tribal Carpets. As you’ll see we’ve skimped on designing a flash looking website to go the “free” route and keep our costs down… and pass on those cost savings to you, the buyer.
Please look through the inventory of carpets on our
Flickr photo website and if something appeals, drop us an email with the reference number. If you don’t see anything that is quite what you’re looking for – e.g. you’re looking for a certain pattern, style, carpet from a particular region, or the colours aren’t quite right - let us know. We have a number of sources in Iran where we can obtain, hopefully, the right carpet or kilim to fit in with your décor. If you’ve got the time, we can probably even get a new carpet made to order.
We will endeavor to keep the items for sale up to date on the
Flickr site, but stock can move pretty quickly at times, so please forgive us if the item you are interested in has gone before we get to update the page. Sold items will be indicated, but you can look at these for ideas of the sorts of rugs and kilims that were previously available (and if you find something you particularly like we can try to order in something similar).
We offer a range of carpets and kilims at various sizes and price points, ranging from authentic nomadic weavings, i.e. woven by nomadic women, to weavings based on nomadic or tribal designs made in the villages and towns of Iran, invariably from tribes that have given up their nomadic existence but continue to keep the traditions of carpet weaving alive.
And in a unique move for this part of the world, all prices are fixed at good value prices. So, no more haggling over prices with a shrewd salesman in the bazaar, who will spin you any old yarn to make a sale. Or maybe you don’t really know the value of the item you are negotiating for anyway, and you find out later you’ve been ripped off.
Please send us an email at
tribalcarpets@gmail.com if you are interested in purchasing any of the carpets or kilims, or to get instructions on where to find us. Alternatively you can leave comments against particular carpets and kilims for other users to view.
