Archives & Legacy

Founded by Alexander Moghadam in 1962, the Moghadam Collection began as a visionary venture dedicated to preserving and elevating the art of Persian carpets. Born in Iran, Alexander brought his passion to Europe, opening five exclusive galleries across Germany before realizing his dream in 1977: a flagship boutique at 23 Boulevard des Moulins in Monaco. Its royal inauguration by Princess Grace marked the beginning of a storied legacy, intertwining Moghadam’s name with Monaco’s luxury heritage. Over decades, the maison became synonymous with unparalleled craftsmanship, staging over 100 exhibitions worldwide and earning acclaim for its masterpieces in silk and wool, each signed by legendary Iranian artisans.
