At Tiffany Auctions, we believe every Persian rug tells a story—of ancient craftsmanship, vibrant cultures, and the timeless beauty that transforms a home into a sanctuary. Founded in Sydney, Australia, Tiffany Rug Auction is an independent online platform dedicated to connecting passionate collectors and sellers with the world’s finest hand-knotted Persian rugs. Whether you’re bidding on a rare Qum silk masterpiece or listing your own heirloom for auction, we’re here to make the process seamless, transparent, and rewarding.
A Heritage of Excellence, Powered by Decades of Expertise
Why Authenticity Matters—And How We Guarantee It
Our roots run deep in Australia’s rug trade. For over half a century, we’ve partnered with Persian Carpet Gallery (PCG)—a name synonymous with integrity since Peter Faeghi established it in 1968. Peter, a third-generation Persian rug specialist from a family with generations of expertise in the trade, has dedicated his life to sourcing, authenticating, and sharing these living works of art with Australians from coast to coast.
Today, PCG operates 14 stores across Australia, providing nationwide access to expert authentication services. Sellers are welcome to bring their rugs to any PCG location for a professional inspection and evaluation. This convenient in-store process ensures every piece submitted to Tiffany Rug Auction is thoroughly assessed by PCG-certified specialists.
At Tiffany Rug Auction, we operate as a distinct business, leveraging this trusted expertise to create a modern marketplace. We’re not an extension of any gallery; we’re the innovative bridge that brings PCG’s century-old knowledge to the digital age, empowering everyday sellers to participate alongside seasoned collectors.
In a world flooded with machine-made imitations, genuine Persian rugs stand apart: hand-knotted from natural wool and silk, dyed with organic pigments like indigo, saffron, and madder root, each one a unique masterpiece woven over months or years. We ensure every rug on our platform meets this standard.
Certificate of Authenticity: Every rug auctioned through us—including those from PCG’s collection or uploaded by private sellers—comes with a detailed certificate signed by our PCG-certified experts.
In-Store Inspection: Submit your rug online, then simply bring it to the nearest Persian Carpet Gallery store (one of 14 locations nationwide) for a free, no-obligation assessment. Our specialists verify origin, age, materials, and condition.
Transparent Bidding: Real-time auctions with clear provenance, high-resolution photos, and expert descriptions—no surprises, just fair market value.
This level of scrutiny builds trust. Thousands of Australian families have trusted PCG (and now Tiffany) to buy, sell, and cherish their rugs. Our reputation is built on results: repeat buyers, glowing reviews, and a growing community of rug enthusiasts.
More Than an Auction— A Community for Rug Lovers
Our Commitment to Ethical Sourcing
We are deeply committed to fair and responsible practices in the rug trade. While the majority of rugs on our platform originate from Iran—where traditional family-based weaving has long been the norm—we remain vigilant about ethical standards across all sourcing regions. We support the important work of organizations like CARE & FAIR, a longstanding initiative dedicated to eliminating illegal child labor in carpet production, particularly in India, Nepal, and Pakistan, while improving living conditions and access to education for weaver families.
At Tiffany Rug Auction, we carefully review submissions to avoid any rugs potentially linked to exploitative labor practices. By partnering with trusted experts and prioritizing transparency, we help ensure that every rug we feature respects human dignity and upholds the integrity of this ancient craft.
Tiffany Rug Auction isn’t just about buying and selling. It’s about celebrating the art of Persian rugs not just in Australia but across the world. From Tabriz florals to Heriz geometrics, from vintage Sarouks to contemporary Gabbehs, we strive for our platform to showcase the diversity of this heritage from USA, Germany and Iran which hold some of the magnificent rare Persian rugs ever made .
