Selling Rugs in Leicester — What We Commonly See

Leicester's Diverse Rug Heritage

Leicester's large South Asian and East African Asian communities have brought a rich tradition of handmade rugs — Persian, Indian, Pakistani, and Afghan — to the city. At the same time, the Victorian hosiery wealth of families in Stoneygate, Oadby, and Knighton left a legacy of fine antique Oriental rugs in private homes across the city.

We regularly purchase from executors and private sellers across Leicester and Leicestershire.
