Silk rugs are often valued for their fine materials, intricate designs, and the exceptional skill involved in hand-knotting them. Our collection also includes beautifully crafted rugs made with handspun wool and vegetable dyes, valued for their rich texture, depth of colour, and character.
With over 45 years of expertise, House of Haghi & Sons thoughtfully selects each rug from trusted artisans in Iran. Every piece is carefully handpicked with care and deep appreciation for generations, then brought to our Auckland showroom, offering distinctive handmade rugs rich in character and history.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a genuine Persian rug cost?
It depends. At House of Haghi, the price of a genuine Persian rug reflects its size, materials, age, design, and craftsmanship. Our collection includes rugs made from fine lamb’s wool, sheep’s wool, and natural silk, alongside beautifully hand-knotted antique, vintage, and modern pieces.
While each rug has a price, its artistry, heritage, and individuality make it truly priceless.
How do I choose a Persian rug?
A Persian runner rug adds a touch of style to your hallway, while a round Persian rug works perfectly as a centrepiece under a coffee table or in a space without hard corners to work around. A large, rectangular rug under the front legs of your sofa will anchor your living room.

How can I tell if a Persian rug is hand-knotted and not machine-made?
On a hand-knotted rug, you can usually see the individual knots on the back, and the fringe is part of the rug’s foundation. Machine-made rugs tend to have a much more uniform construction, with the backing and edges looking more consistent.
A printed design on the back or an attached backing can also be a sign that the rug is machine-made rather than hand-knotted.
Checking the back, fringe and edges is a simple way to get a better idea of how a rug was made.
Do you ship rugs to Australia?
Yes. We offer free shipping across New Zealand and to Australia.
Can I try a rug in my home before I buy it?
Yes. For customers looking for a Persian rug in NZ, we offer a complimentary in-home trial, allowing you to experience the rug in your own space and lighting before making a decision.
By appointment, our team also offers a free in-home consultation to help you choose the right statement piece for your interior. We’ll bring a considered selection of rugs and guide you through the options, with no obligation to buy.
How do I clean and care for a hand-knotted Persian rug?
To care for your hand-knotted rug, vacuum gently in one direction only, to avoid damage or wear. To help protect your rug from sunlight, fading, and staining, we offer a protective spray, as well as a high-end grip underlay custom-made to suit the exact size of your rug.
For expert advice, professional cleaning, or restoration, please contact House of Haghi. Our team can recommend the right care for your rug and help keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
