Our History
Established in 1893 within Hamedan, Iran, the Rug Club proudly holds a storied legacy as a family-owned enterprise. Rooted in a fervor for the artistry of Persian rug craftsmanship, this tradition has seamlessly passed through generations. In 2016, Mehdi Rahimzadeh, the present owner and third-generation successor, propelled the business's reach by inaugurating a branch in Toronto.
Guiding the Rug Club since 1980, Mehdi Rahimzadeh has elevated its reputation globally, actively participating in numerous international auctions. His influence has positioned him as a trailblazer in the Persian rug export sector, facilitating the widespread dissemination of these exquisite pieces, particularly to destinations like the United States, Sweden, and Germany.
