The Nazmiyal Collection, based in New York City, is a company that buys, sells, repairs and restores antique and decorative carpets and textiles.
The Nazmiyal Collection was founded in 1980 by Jason Nazmiyal. The collection features a 5,000 square feet (460 m2) gallery with carpets from Persia, Turkey, the Caucasus, China, Egypt, Europe, Morocco[1][2] and the Americas, including rare carpets from the 16th century, and textiles from the 4th century.[3]
Items in the collection have been used as backdrops in exhibitions of works by Paul Thek, an artist at the Whitney Museum.[4]
