Rekindling Persian Beauty for the Modern Age

We breathe new life into treasures originating from the Iranian plateau, conserving their timeless beauty while awakening them for the modern world. Each piece carries the whispers of history, restored to be cherished anew.

Every artifact in our collection was originally excavated with the permission of the Government of Iran prior to 1930, and traded into the international market prior to 1972. Zagros Artifacts tracks down these hand picked pieces that are at risk of being lost to corrosion, improper handling, or private non-Iranian collections never to be seen again.
