Jubin Tavakol opened Vintage Persian Rugs in 2001 with the intent to offer an extensive collection of antique and decorative rugs. With over 25 years of industry experience, Jubin has developed a keen eye for high-quality antique and decorative rugs that bring any room to life.

Iran, formerly called Persia, is well known as the home of oriental carpets that are located at the crossroad of Eastern and Western civilization. Under the Safavid Dynasty (1502-1736), Iran attained its artistic height. Court weaving, together with the arts of calligraphy, miniature painting, and tile work, flourished to exceptional heights.

Went in to get a rug for my sisters birthday, the workers were extremely accommodating helping me find a rug. They showed me a large selection of rugs within my budget and were very knowledgeable about the price history and quality of the rugs. Eventually I ended up picking the beautiful Persian rug in the picture.

Jubin has helped us select a number of Persian rugs for our home. His in-home recommendations are amazing. He pre-selects rugs that will work in your home and really guides you through evaluating them. His knowledge of the history of the rugs really adds interest to the visual beauty of these historic pieces.
