Selling Rugs in London — What We Commonly See

London Estates & Inheritance

London's long history as a centre of trade, diplomacy, and collecting means many fine antique rugs are held in private homes and estates across the capital. Victorian and Edwardian townhouses particularly often contain Persian and Caucasian pieces acquired during the 19th century.

We regularly purchase from executors and families in Kensington, Chelsea, Mayfair, Hampstead, Richmond, and across all London boroughs.
