Our Story

For over 50 years, FJ Hakimian has been the premier resource for antique carpets and tapestries, with an extensive collection of classic pieces from the major weaving areas of the world. We have also recognized the excellence of early twentieth century design in carpets with a pioneering collection of Art Deco and Swedish works.

In 2001, we introduced another dimension to our gallery and developed our Custom Carpets Collection of hand-made rugs. Soon after we added Moroccan Tribal Weavings, a collection of timeless pieces of Morocco’s semi-nomadic Berber tribes. In recent years, we have expanded our line to include Hand-Woven Fabrics, artisanal textiles from around the world, as well as our extremely popular line of Plant Fiber Mats, woven in South America and South Africa.
