From Oushak and Hereke to Beni Ourain and Art Deco Chinese, we buy the full spectrum of handmade Oriental rugs. No appointment, no courier, no fees. Just an honest expert offer.
The Broadest Buying Remit in the Market
"Oriental rug" covers an enormous geography — from Turkey and Iran through the Caucasus and Central Asia to China, India, Morocco and beyond. Each tradition has its own vocabulary of pattern, material, construction and value.
Most buyers specialise narrowly. We don't. Our team includes specialists across all major handmade rug traditions, which means you get an accurate offer regardless of what you're selling — not a generic low-ball from someone uncertain about the origin.
Whether you have a single decorative village piece or a serious collector's specimen with auction provenance, we want to hear from you.

Oriental Rug Origins We Buy
Every handmade tradition. Every period. Every condition considered.
🇹🇷 Turkish Rugs
One of the oldest rug-weaving traditions. Turkish rugs use the symmetrical (Turkish or Ghiordes) knot, giving a durable, upright pile.
- Oushak (Ushak) – Soft palette, large-scale patterns, supremely collectible
- Hereke – Fine silk or wool, Ottoman court tradition, very high value
- Kayseri – Silk or mercerised cotton, affordable fine weaving
- Bergama – Bold geometric, antique village character
- Konya & Ladik – Prayer rug specialists, geometric Anatolian designs
- Sivas – Workshop quality, floral patterns, fine knotting
🇲🇦 Moroccan Rugs
Berber-tradition flat weaves and pile rugs from the Atlas Mountains and beyond. Currently experiencing exceptional global demand from interior designers.

🇨🇳 Chinese Rugs
A long tradition of fine weaving distinct from Middle Eastern styles, using distinctive Chinese symbolism and pastel palettes.

We Buy in All Conditions
Excellent
Full pile, no damage, vibrant colours. Commands the highest offers.
Good
Light wear, minor fading, small repairs. Still very marketable.
Damaged
Fraying, pile loss, staining, pet damage. Often still worth buying, especially if antique.
Antique & Worn
Heavy use, multiple repairs, fragile. Age and rarity can outweigh condition entirely.
Many sellers assume a worn or damaged rug is worthless. For antique pieces, well-worn rugs with beautiful natural dye colours and authentic construction are exactly what serious collectors seek. Let us make that call.

Happy Sellers
"Had an old Chinese Art Deco rug from the 1930s that I didn't know was valuable. Heritage identified it, explained the period correctly, and made an offer that surprised me very pleasantly."
— Andrew F., Oxford"The Moroccan Beni Ourain rug I sold them went for exactly the kind of money I'd hoped for. They knew the market well and didn't try to talk the price down."
— Sophie B., Brighton"Three Oushak pieces from a Turkish property sale. All bought quickly, payment was prompt, and the whole thing was done remotely. Exactly how it should work."
