What remains is an impressive offering of beautiful antique, semi-antique and new Oriental rugs, many of which are rare, high-quality and exquisite. Rugs sized from 2 by 3 feet to “palace-sized” will be sold for nominal bids and with no reserves. There’ll be Heriz, Tabriz, Oushak, Kashan, Isfahan, Peshawar and more varieties woven in silk and wool, some boasting as many as 2,500 knots per square inch. Getting rugs like these (plenty of one-of-a-kinds) at well below their value is a rare opportunity. Certificates of authenticty attesting to quality and value can be provided upon request. 

I’ve seen a few and wanted to pass along some highlights. One circa-1900 rug, a refined pale green and cream Tabriz that measures about 9 by 12 feet, is stunning in its washed neutral tones and nuanced richness. Another, a russet-hued, blue-accented antique Persian serapi, is dated 1880. And if you are looking for an Oriental without a center medallion (which can sometimes be a challenge), don’t miss previewing and bidding on a sultanabad with a lush, all-over gold and deep blue rectangular design that's 9 1/2 feet by 15 feet, 9 inches.

Pirouzan has made this final auction a special event, and in many ways it’s a thank-you to Pirouzan's customers and the community. Valet parking will be available, and food and drinks will be served.

Previews for the auction will begin at 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with auctions commencing at 2 p.m. both days.
