Knights Antiques is owned by Simon and Louise Knight; this unique business is located in the internationally renowned town of Henley on Thames, famed for its rowing regatta and festivals.
Located 25 miles from the centre of London and only 30 minutes away from Heathrow airport, the shop combines the ageless beauty of Persian Tribal and Village rugs and carpets; with the unique style of English country furniture, clocks, pewter and paintings from the period 1600 - 1900.

The rugs and carpets; all personally selected by Simon Knight, range from fine antique tribal rugs from the Nomadic tribes of Persia; such as the Qashqa'i, Khamseh, Afshar, Lori and Baluch. There are always a good selection of antique Turcoman, Caucasian and Turkish weavings on display in the gallery where over 50 rugs are hung for easy viewing.

The very best of contemporary weaving from Iran is also displayed, with all rugs and carpets made using traditional techniques, hand spun wool and natural dyes. Rugs from the Kashkuli and Lori weavers are exhibited along side village rugs from Bidjar, Bakhshaish, Senneh and many other traditional carpet making villages.

With a stock of over 500 rugs, carpets and runners; we aim to cover most requirements and budgets. If we do not have an item in stock that suits your needs, we will search the market place to find the right item for you.

All rugs & carpets are available for home trial, and we are more than happy to bring a selection to your home for you to view in situ with your own furnishings.

Our Country furniture represents the British tradition for using locally grown timbers such as Oak, Elm, Ash, Beech and Walnut in the manufacture of functional furniture for use in country houses, farm houses and cottages. The timeless nature of these timbers allows the furniture to be used in today's modern environment bringing warmth, colour and beauty into any home. A large collection of English and continental pewter is always available; with a good choice of plates, measures and unusual items.

The combination of country furniture and tribal rugs together in a warm and friendly setting makes Knights Antiques unique and a gallery to visit if you are searching for that special item for your home.

We are pleased to offer a full hand washing service for all rugs & carpets, along with professional repairs and restoration; no job is too large or small.
