Carpets

Beauty and rarity determine the value of antique carpets as much as their colouring and traditional pattern, which is passed down from generation to generation. 

Just as the carpet market is varied, so is the selection offered at Dorotheum, from old runners and classic hand-knotted Persian carpets to old tapestries and colourful kilim carpets. The gamut of our assortment includes Oriental carpets as well as carpets from the Caucasus and Anatolia, Turkmenistan, Iran and India. Additionally, you will also find a large selection of carpets from Europe, including the Netherlands, France and Austria.

Rare items in our vast selection invite you to buy and sell at our special auctions and our Online Auctions.

Our specialists are at your disposal for evaluations. This service is free of charge and involves no obligation.
