The gallery begins
A family business devoted to handmade rugs and the knowledge that comes from close examination.
Our heritage · Daryoosh & Omid Chaman
Collected through travel.
Understood through time.
Chaman Antique Rug Gallery was established in 1980. Daryoosh and Omid Chaman have brought together antique and vintage weavings through travels across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
The collection reflects that breadth: different places, different hands, and different ways of understanding pattern. A quiet Oushak, a graphic Navajo weaving, and a finely drawn Persian carpet each ask to be looked at on their own terms.
Explore the collectionA wider audience
Chaman joins 1stDibs, bringing its collection to clients and designers beyond the gallery.
The conversation continues
Visit the gallery on Long Island to see the collection and discuss a rug, a room, or a piece you already own.
Store locationWhat to look for
Drawing
Look at how a border meets a corner, how motifs repeat, and where the weaver departs from symmetry.
Material
Look beyond a photograph to the pile, foundation, and surface. Texture and sheen change with the viewing angle.
Condition
Ask about wear, repairs, and restoration. The right choice depends on both the rug and its intended use.
Proportion
Read the dimensions alongside the room. Furniture placement and open floor space matter as much as overall area.

We invite you to compare the rugs, ask about their history and condition, and take the conversation beyond the screen.
