Peykar Importers of Fine Rugs

Founded in 1971 by Robert’s Hamiki’s uncles, Peykar would go on to become the largest importer and wholesaler of rugs in the United States. Acquired in 1990 through hard work and passion, Robert built his business into one of the most highly respected enterprises of his kind. Robert’s story truly begins a long time ago in Iran. Robert’s family was not in the rug trade, but he vividly remembers the day after his father brought home the family’s first Persian rug. The rug made such an impression that it marked the beginning of a lifelong passion for the living art of handmade rugs. Through Robert’s reflection on the work tradition of his family and his merging of his insights with his reverential appreciation of rug creation, his five guiding principles came to life. These principles are integrity, honesty, love, creativity, and passion. The components of a quality Peykar rug come with integrity. By choosing better wool you can feel and see the differences; colors last longer, life lasts longer, and it’s easier to clean. Honesty refers to educating potential buyers with all rug and material information that bring confidence to the product. Love is what was derived from Robert’s first family Persian rug that came to the United States; it is what drives his business. Creativity results from the blending of classic designs and fresh contemporary ideas and colors. Passion is the fire that keeps Robert excited a bout his product, his business and his customers. Robert has spent much of his life focusing on these principles that have become a personal pledge to his customer’s satisfaction. “My life is radically changing,” he says. “It is changing in incredible and wonderful ways. There is no longer a duality in my life – business and personal are one. Ironically, what I have discovered for myself has been practiced by my family for generations. I am returning to my past to create a new future.”
