About Woven Treasures

It has been almost 3 decades since Parviz Yathrebi opened Woven Treasures with Maryam — a family-owned-and-operated rug business. Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Woven Treasures imports and sells beautiful handmade rugs, unique textiles, and decor for the home.

Understanding the historical relevance of the rug industry proved particularly important to Parviz when he immigrated to the United States from Iran in 1977. The culture of curating, purchasing, and selling rugs transported Parviz back to his childhood, where he can recall happy memories at his grandfather's house, a great rug collector.

Although many of the rugs, textiles, and other decor items found at Woven Treasures honor cultural traditions of the past, Parviz travels twice a year in search of the finest items and newest trends. For instance, while in Turkey, Parviz found recently Arabian rugs made by Iraqi Marsh people and Suzani needlework textiles made in Uzbekistan.

Parviz is working closely with well-known Interior Designers to find or create unique rugs for their clients, either individuals or businesses such as hospitality places and company HQs.

Parviz's incredible rug knowledge and deep expertise allows him to propose the best rugs services: washing, cleaning, and repairing handmade rugs coming from all parts of the world — from the American cotton braided one done by the grandmother of one of our clients to the 150-year-old Persian antique Oriental rug from a collector.
