Decorative Persian Zeillu Tribal Flat-Weave Reversible Rug

Best known among Persian rug collectors for its high-quality luxury rugs, Nasiri specializes in hand-weaving contemporary and mid-century modern designs using old-world techniques.

Nasiri was founded by Nader Nasiri, who initially restored and sold antique Persian rugs from the local bazaar in his native Tehran. After moving to the United States, Nasiri founded his company, intending to introduce traditional Persian carpets to contemporary American life.

Although the firm started by focusing on time-honored Persian carpet-making techniques, Nasiri expanded its collection to include a wide spectrum of diverse weaving techniques. For instance, the company has a selection of Central Asian rugs with designs inspired by the ancient kilims (pileless, flatweave rugs) native to the Kurdish region of Afghanistan. Nasiri also has carpets made with hand-woven techniques found throughout Africa, Turkish rugs and Kalach flatweave rugs featuring Navajo and Scandinavian modern designs.

Nasiri’s Mazandaran collection features centuries-old weaving techniques used by Persian women in northeast Iran. The Mazandaran rug was only recently brought to widespread attention due to its being created solely for domestic use and as a traditional bridal dowry.

Nasiri’s rugs have been featured in numerous publications, including Interior Design, Elle Decor, Architectural Digest and Luxe. Its carpets are highly sought after by leading interior designers, architects and avid Persian rug collectors.
