Herat Gallery specializes in rare antique rugs and textiles of ethnographic, aesthetic or historical significance.

Our on-line inventory can be previewed on the ‘catalog’ list and the ‘thumbnail’ catalog.

Accompanying each posting is information on age, attribution, condition, structure, design, bibliography and provenance, where applicable, and price.

Our site has a wonderful ‘zoom’ capability. It is easy to use, is four-directional and allows the viewer to ‘zoom-in’ to see the piece at very close range.

We gladly ship to you ‘on approval’ so you can see the weaving before making a decision.

There are articles on Starting a Rug Collection and on subjects of interest to new collectors.

We try to post 2-4 new items per month. Sometimes we are successful, sometimes not.

Please remember our inventory is limited to the rare, the old and the beautiful. Each year with the passage of time these pieces get increasingly hard to find and acquire.
