Persian Rug Gallery was established in Nashville, Tennessee in 1994 by Amir Esfandyari, the 5th generation of Esfandyaris who have devoted their lives to the rug business.   The Esfandyair family were producers of rugs in Heriz, Bakhshayesh, Ahar, Sharabian, and Tabriz regions of Azarbaijan in Iran.  They controlled the quality by furnishing the weavers with the finest vegetable dyes and local wool, but left the creativity to weavers to create some of the most beautiful rugs.  So, when it comes to rugs, we have centuries of combined experience to advise you on your next purchase of floor art.   Persian Rug Gallery specializes in the finest Oriental carpets, rare antiques, and vintage art rugs.  We also carry a large selection of over size and palace rugs and antique tribal and village rugs.  Additionally, The Persian Rug Gallery carries rugs from Caucasus, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, and China.   Also, in our fine art gallery, you will find originals from established local artists Sharon Rusch Shauer, Suzanne James, Lee Hamblin, Debbie Wingo, Ronald G. Baldwin, James Evinczik, and Murat Khaboulov, with many more to come...   So, come to the Persian Rug Gallery and take home a long awaited dream.  Perhaps it's the wavy floral with no center medallion that you are looking for, or that masculine geometric with bold colors.  Or maybe an abstract design or an art deco, a hunt scene or a Persian garden design.  Or, quite possibly, you'll just "know it when you see it."  Well...  if it's a handmade Oriental rug you've been looking for, you have the one for you.  So, email us, or come to The Persian Rug Gallery and take home a long awaited dream.
