I hope you will have an interesting trip to IRAN. If you are stopping in TEHRAN, the best place to buy Persian rugs is Bazaar Farsh (Rug) in TEHRAN. You will have more options to choose from and also the price of rugs is cheaper. Make sure you do your homework and look at our web site or any other site that are Persian rugs related. Print images of rugs that you like. Sometimes, too many options are not a good option. Narrow your choices and try to be specific about the visage, size and quality. When you are in Bazaar, make sure you shop around and never buy rugs at the first shop and the first day. Check the
· Quality
· Material (Kork, Silk)
· KPSI
· Have a notebook to write the prices and type of the rugs.
· Golden Rule Of Shopping in IRAN:
Negotiate, Negotiate, Negotiate!
You cannot believe how much you can reduce the price!
· Always ask for Certificate of Authentication paper for your Rugs even if it is in Farsi (Official language in IRAN).
If you do need further assistance, you can contact Saeed in TEHRAN in our main office at:

PERSIA CARPET GALLERY
3-2 Floor, Saraye Caddr
Bazaar Farsh, Tehran 16517
Tel:(011) 98-21-2090398

I am sure he will be very helpful person to contact. He knows the Bazaar and he is an expert in Persian rugs and carpets. He would be an asset for you to help you in Bazaar and show you all the available rugs in the market. I do not believe you have to pay any custom or taxes if you buy only two peaces (up to 12 meter). He can even help you to ship your rug back to UK.
Another interesting place that you can see excellent quality rugs in IRAN, is Carpet Museum in Tehran http://www.oldcarpet.com/tehran_carpet_museum.htm
You will see extremely nice rugs and will get an idea about what means museum quality and if you can afford what you should buy.
Please feel free to contact him or me if you do need more assistance.
Thank You
