Ireland's leading Specialists in Fine Antique Carpets, Rugs, Kilims & Tapestries, est 1980

THE NEW PETER LINDEN GALLERY is now open.

Our new premises in two storeys has been created by dividing the building in two sections with a new entrance from the side lane. From this small, but cosy and intimate, gallery we will continue to specialise in fine Antique pieces of the highest quality. For as long as they continue to be woven we will also stock naturally dyed rugs from the DOBAG project in Turkey, plus a small number of newly made top quality pieces from various locations in Iran.

In future we will only deal with original and unique pieces woven to the highest standards, in the best possible condition. Mass produced fashion driven rugs will be carefully avoided as they neither hold their value nor last the time you have come to expect from the old, properly woven pieces.

Our services such as cleaning/restoration/valuation remain as before.

A new brokering service will be available to help you source any piece of reasonable importance in our field.

We intend to keep a more active website that will include the majority of stock pieces rather than just a sample selection. Keep an eye on the site in future as we will try to put most new acquisitions on the site as we find them.

Our new business hours: Wednesday - Saturday 10:30-16:30, or by appointment.

RARE COLLECTION OF ANTIQUE CUSHIONS! We recently acquired a very rare and beautiful mid 19th C Ziegler type carpet that, despite areas of severe damage, still had large sections of perfect pile with the most exquisite design and colour. The result is a collection of really unusual antique rug fragment cushions, some of which can be seen herewith. We haven't had cushions like these for many long years and they will sell quickly in the run-up to Christmas.

NEW ARRIVALS! We are now in the middle of the busiest time of the year for rug buying and we have actively been tracking down beautiful, top quality pieces. Illustrated herewith is a rare antique, ivory ground Ferahan rug, Lot # 8654, woven around 1880, size 197x127 cms or 6'6"x4'3", in lovely condition. For further details, click Current Stock, then Antique Rugs etc, and scroll down in order of size.

OPENING HOURS The gallery has now resumed normal business hours Wednesday-Saturday 1030-1630, or by appointment. We have many beautiful antique pieces in current stock, including this cracking new arrival, Lot # 8662, a rare Antique Baluch Prayer rug, Ca 1870, 4'11"x2'4" including the spectacular soumakh ends. For further details click Current Stock, then Antique Rugs etc, and scroll down in order of size.

NEW ACQUISITIONS In the current climate people are looking for alternative investments such as works of art of global merit. Antique Oriental rugs, provided they are at the very top end of the quality scale, are very rare, extremely decorative and undervalued compared to other works of art. We have recently acquired some exceptional pieces in pristine condition, such as the stunning late 19th C Mohtashem Kashan rug # 8658 illustrated here. For further details on this new arrival, click Current Stock, then Antique Rugs etc, and scroll down.

HOW TO VIEW OUR CURRENT STOCK To view most of our inventory, click Current Stock, then choose from 5 sections that are self explanatory, and scroll down where the pieces are arranged roughly in the order of size. Illustrated below is one of the recent acquisitions, Lot # 8597, a 19th century Caucasian Prayer Rug of beautiful colouring and character, size 131x100 cms or 4'4"x3'4".
