Our History and Philosophy

Gallery Yacou is a family-owned business established over four generations and we have had our showroom on the Fulham Road in Chelsea, London since 1994.

Owned and run by Robin Yacoubian and his father, Ezekiel, our emphasis has always been and will be to deliver close and personalised service to our clients.

With our broad experience acquired over four generations and our intimate knowledge of carpets we have created what we believe is a comprehensive collection of carpets which we have carefully selected from the four corners of the globe for their quality, individuality, elegance and strong decorative appeal. They range in size from small furnishing pieces to room size to unusually large oversize carpets measuring up to 12.00 x 7.00 metres (39′ x 23′ feet).

We also have a range of Contemporary carpets inspired by 20th Century design elements such as the clean lines of the At Deco period and our recreations of antique carpets derive their design inspiration from much sought-after stylish carpets of the 18th & 19th Century.

We work with a wide range of clients who include private individuals, leading interiors designers and architects and collectors and  the projects cover a wide variety of spaces from grand listed buildings to modern city apartments, period houses to cosy country cottages and residential houses.

We also have a gallery space at the Blanchard Collective near Hungerford in Wiltshire where a selection from our comprehensive stock is featured. For further information, please see our Links page.

We are members of the antique dealers associations, BADA and LAPADA and an Industry Partner of BIID, the British Insititute of Interior Design.

We exhibit at various Fairs annually which include: The Olympia International Arts & Antiques Fairs, the Decorative Antiques and Textiles Fair, the British Antiques Dealers Association Fair and the LAPADA Art & Antiques Fair.
