About Palassi Carpets
Fine Persian Carpets Since 1875
From 1875 into the future
About Our History
Palassi Carpets is a fifth-generation family enterprise devoted to the art, history, and careful stewardship of handwoven carpets. Rooted in a legacy of knowledge passed from one generation to the next, we bring together cultural understanding, rigorous expertise, and a deeply personal respect for each piece. From rare antique carpets to contemporary works and bespoke commissions, every carpet is selected for its authenticity, craftsmanship, character, and enduring place within the history of the art. Our role extends beyond acquisition: we preserve these woven expressions of heritage and guide them thoughtfully into the homes, collections, and spaces of the future.

A Legacy in Handwoven Carpets
Custodians of a Heritage in Handwoven Carpets
We regard every exceptional carpet as a cultural object as well as an object of beauty—one whose craftsmanship, origin, and story deserve to be understood and preserved. Each piece carries the knowledge of its makers, the character of its landscape, and the cultural memory of the community from which it emerged. We look beyond surface appeal to study its materials, structure, dye, age, provenance, and distinctive signs of handwork. By placing every carpet within its proper historical and artistic context, we help ensure that its significance is recognised, its authenticity respected, and its story carried forward for generations to come.
Everything has begun in 1875
Five Generations
In the Carpets Business
Across more than 150 years, our family has cultivated enduring relationships with weavers, collectors, scholars, and clients across the world. These connections have deepened our understanding of regional traditions, evolving markets, and the qualities that distinguish a truly exceptional carpet. With each generation, we have refined the discernment that guides every acquisition—balancing technical excellence, artistic character, rarity, provenance, and lasting cultural value. It is this accumulated knowledge, shaped by experience and trusted relationships, that allows Palassi to present a collection of carpets chosen with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
The Heritage Continuum
The present-day embodiment
of their legacy
Today, Palassi brings this inheritance into a global, contemporary context, pairing historical knowledge with personal service and confident aesthetic guidance. We work with private collectors, designers, architects, and institutions across borders, helping them discover carpets that feel both culturally significant and naturally at home in the present. Every recommendation is informed by a deep understanding of craftsmanship, provenance, scale, colour, and atmosphere, then shaped around the individual character of the project. In this way, an enduring family legacy becomes a thoughtful, personal experience for a new generation of clients.
The Palassi Journey
About Our Expriences
Every important carpet begins a conversation—with a client, a space, an artist, or a history. Through listening closely, asking the right questions, and understanding the intention behind each project, we discover what a carpet needs to contribute: warmth, balance, movement, depth, or a sense of place. These experiences continually shape the way we curate and advise, allowing each recommendation to be both visually compelling and deeply considered. For us, the right carpet is never chosen in isolation; it emerges from an exchange of ideas, knowledge, and feeling.
Why Choose Us?
Why Palassi Carpets?
We combine generational expertise, carefully verified selection, and a long-term commitment to every piece entrusted to us. Each carpet is examined with patience and informed judgment, from its materials, construction, and condition to its provenance, cultural context, and potential for lasting value. Our responsibility does not end at the point of sale: we offer considered guidance on placement, care, restoration, and preservation, ensuring that every carpet is understood, respected, and protected throughout its life. At Palassi, knowledge is matched by accountability—and every acquisition is treated as part of a relationship that extends well into the future.
