Mansour Los Angeles, our flagship showroom, was established in 1993. It offers our clients one of the finest collections of antique rugs, carpets and tapestries in the world. Our gallery in New York City has its own collection of fine antique pieces. It can quickly access the unrivalled resources of our base in Los Angeles as well to offer them in Manhattan.
Both galleries also provide an outstanding range of Revival, Mid-century and modern rugs and carpets. We work with leading designers to create our Modern collection and with clients, too, to produce customized rugs tailored to their particular requirements. Personal service lies at the heart of everything we do, a service underpinned by expertise built up over four generations.
Antique rugs, carpets and tapestries
Mansour was established in Los Angeles in 1993 by Mansour Soleimani following the success over many years of the gallery in London and the business in Iran. It is now our flagship showroom. The gallery is housed in a fine building, designed and constructed to the company’s own specification, on Melrose Avenue, at the centre of Los Angeles’s design district.
The sister gallery in New York was opened in 2019 and underscores our commitment to the East Coast as well as the West. From both locations, we service the needs of clients all over the Americas and indeed the world. The New York gallery is located in mid-town Manhattan on E 57th Street.
In both showrooms, we present our large and important collection of high-quality antique Oriental and European rugs and carpets. These consist of pieces dating from the 18th to early 20th century from the historical rug-weaving areas of Persia, Turkey, India, China, the Caucasus and Turkestan, as well as from England, France, Ireland, Spain and Sweden.
The collection encompasses all sizes and is particularly strong in Persian rugs and large area carpets. We can provide a rug or carpet of quality for any room.
We also have a carefully curated collection of beautiful European tapestries dating from the 16th to the late 19th centuries woven, in Flanders, France and Italy.
Revival, Mid-century and Modern rugs
Our Revival collection reinterprets and recreates some of the more popular traditional designs of the past in new rugs and carpets hand-woven to a high standard on traditional looms. Such re-creations can be in an existing style but have also enabled us to respond to contemporary tastes to suit the modern home.
The Mid-century collection offers a diverse range from the middle years of the 20th century, drawing on the exciting, innovative developments in the design of floor-coverings in Europe during that period. The collection includes, most notably, Deco rugs from Turkey and many striking designs from Sweden, as well as more traditional Persian examples.
Mansour extended its gallery space in Los Angeles to present its contemporary collection of rugs and carpets, Mansour Modern.
Customized rugs and carpets
We use our own looms in order to weave new rugs and carpets not only to our specifications but those of our clients as well. We work with interior designers or the clients themselves to realize their designs and allow them to determine the colours, fibres and dimensions of their choice. Such designs could be based on traditional Revival styles or exquisite, original contemporary creations.
We offer a highly flexible and personalized service and because our customization process is well-established, we are able to make the experience structured and time-efficient for clients.
A tailored service in our Los Angeles and New York galleries
We welcome clients and prospective clients to our galleries to view our collections during working hours and by appointment at other times. We are happy to consign and deliver selected items for a specified period to enable designers to show them to their clients or for clients to see them in their own property.
We have remained a family business for over 70 years and this has sustained a culture of personal and flexible service, backed up by expertise built up over four generations and by pieces of the highest quality.
We have sold rugs to several generations of some families and have worked with other clients to help them form large and important collections of carpets. We have also enjoyed the privilege of collaborating with some of the most celebrated interior designers in the world.
If you are looking for a particular rug or tapestry or would like to custom a carpet for a specific space, please contact us via our website or visit one of our galleries.
