I need information about a rug that a cleaner had told me might be quite valuable. I searched online and found that Hagop Manoyan in NYC provided an email address and encouraged any kind of query. I sent photos and an explanation, and the proprietors returned with an answer in under a half hour, and the information was extremely helpful (not valuable, use the rug). Much appreciated.
I received very quick service, they were very nice and helpful.
Not seriously expecting an answer, I wrote to Mr. Manoyan from my homein Tokyo and asked for his opinion concerning the age and provenance of one of my Turkish prayer rugs. To my surprise, I received a prompt and knowledgeable reply, even though my distance doesnt allow me to patronize his shop. Three cheers for Hagop Manoyan Antique Rugs! I only wish that they were here in Tokyo, where such experts dont exist.
I truly would recommend Hagop for anyone interested in acquiring collectible oriental rugs. After having a bad experience with my original efforts at starting a collection, an acknowledged authority in the field referred me to Hagop. I have done all my purchasing with him ever since. His expertise is unsurpassed in evaluating quality and authenticity in a genre where skilled deceptions present a serious risk. I have bought with complete confidence from him and look forward to continuing to grow my collection with the help of his guidance.
I have purchased over a dozen antique rugs from Hagop Manoyan; each has been a small gem. His taste is superb, the quality of the rugs is impeccable, and his prices are more than fair. Most important, he is straightforward, highly informative, and above all, honest. He has always let me try the rugs at home, and has been a consummate gentleman in every transaction. I cannot recommend him more highly.
I have known Mr. H. Manoyan for over 20 years. We have done business together-buying, selling, consulting and appraising high end and antique rugs from Caucasus region, Persia/Iran, Turkey/Anatolia, Central Asia and China, etc....He is reliable and honest rug merchant. His knowledge of antique rugs is beyond imagination. Many time I have relied on his advise on some rugs and textiles that I had difficulty to identify and he has always come to my rescue.
My wife and I were looking for a rug of a somewhat unusual size. Our regular dealer in Milwaukee did not have anything. Rather than travel to NYC I emailed a few dealers highly rated in a blog on NYC oriental rug dealers.. Hagop earned his rating and more. Within a few days he had sent us photos of several rugs of the appropriate size, all antique. The one we chose was most fairly priced. It is a 90 year old Heriz in a classic pattern and a real gem. Hagop allowed us to see it in the room in our home before we had to decide. If we had declined the rug we would have shipped it back to him. We loved the rug so the deal was concluded.I recommend Hagop to anyone looking for antique oriental rugs. I would love to meet him in person to thank him. A wonderful experience. How rare in our society today! Please keep Hagop in mind if you are considering the purchase of fine oriental rugs.
I have been collecting antique oriental rugs and saddle bags for almost 30 years. Several of my favorite pieces came from Hagop. He is one of the most honest and knowledgeable antique rug dealers Ive met and he is a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for an antique rug or other weaving I cant think of a better place to start your journey.
Elegant selections of Kazak rugs in NYC!! My friendly advice is go in person and see the rugs yourself. Very detailed color rugs over 100+ years. Photos do not do justice. He is located in Flatiron District. 5+ stars. Thank you Mr. Hagop Great Gentleman.
Hagop is one of the finest rug/textile dealers with whom I have dealt in 30 years of collecting. He is honest, friendly, and very knowledgeable. His inventory is top notch, and the condition of his pieces is typically superb. I enjoy hearing his opinion about pieces. I check his website often.
An honest and highly knowledgeable first rate dealer with quality genuine material. Hagop finds and stocks some of the best Caucasian, Anatolian, and Persian pieces available. As an added benefit he is very friendly and personable. A versatile dealer for both the advanced collector and the discerning tasteful decorator.
I have purchased six antique rugs from Hagop Manoyan during the past four years. I love each one of them, and that fact is as important to Hagop as it is to me. He takes great pride in his rugs, he only buys pieces he loves, and then his mission is to find what you love. He is a pleasure to work with, and I recommend him most highly.
Mr. Manoyan is a wonder: a marvelous combination of impeccable taste, wide knowledge, fairness, and trustworthiness. His collection, while relatively small, is always stocked with beautiful and rare treasures. It is joy to browse through his catalog. It is even a greater joy to buy one of his lovely pieces.Richard Zinman, East Lansing, Michigan
Hagops rugs are perfect...they can easily go on your walls alongside your Vermeers!
Hagop is a friend and colleague for whom I have the greatest fondness and respect as a gentleman and connoisseur of textile art as well as dealer of the highest probity and discernment.

Outstanding Service! If you have any questions, need education, or want to invest and purchase one of the best rugs in the city this is the place to visit. Trust me! One of kind service.
Very helpful and considerate.
Please note that this review is written by my husband, an avid rug collector.Ive had extremely positive experiences with Hagop. Hes extremely knowledgeable, experienced and, like the very best dealers, passionate about his craft and his inventory. Although Hagops inventory isnt as large as those of some dealers, its extremely high quality - in my experiences, the best of over 35 merchants with whom Ive worked. His pieces are always in good to excellent condition and usually have some element(s) that make them especially unique. I have a number of his pieces prominently displayed in my house at all times and the more I view them, the more impressed by and attached to them I become - a hallmark of the best rugs. Ive also been struck by Hagops palpable sense of pride and happiness when I discuss my deep satisfaction with the rugs that Ive purchased from him, a reflection of his passion for his unique craft. For those who truly enjoy collecting antique carpets and rugs, I would strongly recommend that you talk to Hagop if youve not already done so. You wont be disappointed.
Very professional and a great seelction of antique & unique rugs. Bought my first rug from Hagop in 1995 and still going back; very enjoyable experience.
What is as compelling as Hagop Manoyans A+ collection of mouth-watering (eye-watering?) rugs, his accessible website, his easy manner with people and willingness to share his vast stores of expertise and knowledge --- is his affinity for the equally beautiful game of soccer. What more could someone ask for? Check him out! You see for yourself.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Hagop for over 20 years. He is a wonderful person who I enjoy doing business with. He is passionate about tribal rugs and is always willing to share his knowledge.

I have purchased four antique Caucasian rugs from Hagop Manoyan over the past several years.Looking at, and learning about, these beautiful rugs from someone as knowledgeable and personable as Hagop has always made this experience a great pleasure.
I have bought 4 antique Caucasian rugs from Hagop Manoyan. My interest in these rugs started initially just by seeing them in books. Then I looked into the very few carpets shops in Norway without finding what I was looking for. So I started by buying a few cheaper carpets at e-bay and from there I moved on to a dealer in Istanbul. Then I found Hagop through his advertisements on the internet, and I stayed with him as a dealer. Hagop is very kind, polite and always helpful. I can even ask him questions about other carpets I find on the internet. He is always ready to share his expertise and give me good advice. When I at one occasion needed to change a rug I had bought from him half a year earlier, there was no trouble at all. Living on the outskirts of the world as far as antique Caucasian carpets is concerned I cannot praise Hagops help and expertise high enough. I simply rely on him. Beautiful carpets from a totally trustworthy dealer. I give him my highest recommendation.
His Rugs are truly authentic. Its hard to come by honest sellers like Hagop Manoyan.
