Orley Shabahang
Collectors of Persian carpets and Indian rugs are familiar with the name Orley Shabahang. The carpet firm is renowned for its contemporary, Art Deco and heritage-inspired designs that feature traditional hand-woven techniques from ancient Persia.
Orley Shabahang’s history can be traced back to 1972 in the bazaars of Isfahan, Iran, where Geoffrey Orley, an American who was searching for “the world’s greatest carpets,” met Bahram Shabahang, a carpet dealer. The pair discovered they shared a passion for Persian rug art and became friends and business partners, forming the rug and carpet company in 1973.
At first, Orley Shabahang focused primarily on importing and restoring antique Persian carpets. However, the business partners soon identified a niche market for modern rug designs. By 2001, Orley Shabahang had shifted its focus to creating “Persian revival” carpets, spearheaded by Bahram Shabahang’s unique rug designs.
Orley Shabahang works directly with talented and skilled Iranian weavers who produce Bahram’s rug designs by hand. The process from start to finish uses only traditional methods. All-natural wool from Persian fat-tailed sheep is handspun and organically dyed using vegetable dyes, which are prized for their vibrant, rich colors and fade-resistant tones. The wool is washed in pure, running river water and dried in the sun for up to six weeks. Weavers then make the carpets using knotting techniques passed down through generations. Although the process is time-consuming, Orley Shabahang says it’s necessary to produce such luxurious rugs: “[Our] aim is to make not only the most beautiful carpets but to create them with exemplary quality.”
Orley Shabahang’s rugs have been featured in major publications, including Architectural Digest, Vogue and Town & Country. Its pieces have been shown at galleries and design fairs worldwide, including the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) in New York City in 2018.
