Rugs & Persian Carpets in Amstelveen
Galerie Hamming van Seventer · since 2007 · family business with 3 branches
Galerie Hamming van Seventer in Amstelveen is the place for hand-knotted rugs, oriental carpets, kilims, and Persian carpets. Our gallery in Amstelveen became our second branch in 2007 — opened to offer personal advice and authentic hand-knotted carpets close to home to customers from Amsterdam, Amstelveen, and surrounding areas. Our family business was founded in 1994 in Groningen and has grown into one of the Netherlands' most specialized oriental carpet galleries — now with three branches and 3,000+ unique carpets in stock. With us, you don't buy mass-produced goods: every carpet is hand-knotted or woven from 100% wool or silk, vegetable-dyed, and unique — an investment for life, from approximately €1,450 to €9,950.

Frequently asked questions
Can I try a rug at home on approval?
Yes. With our free at-home viewing service, we visit your home with a selection of rugs so you can see how the rug works in your own interior, with your own light and furniture. No obligation to buy, no shipping costs. We have offered this service since 1994.
How much does a hand-knotted carpet cost at Hamming van Seventer?
Our carpets start around €1,450 for smaller kilims and go up to about €9,950 for exceptional silk Persian pieces. The price depends on knots-per-cm², material (wool or silk), origin, age, and size.
What is the difference between a kilim and a Persian carpet?
A kilim is woven (flat, no pile) with geometric patterns. A Persian carpet is knotted (with pile, thick) and offers more design freedom for fine floral and medallion patterns. We have both in stock.
Can I have a custom-made carpet?
Yes. If nothing from our stock fits your dimensions, we can have a custom-made rug knotted or woven. Average delivery time 8–16 weeks.
