​
We are not quite a brick & mortar where people can show up and browse the inventory, and it's not like a typical e-commerce where you can immediately purchase using an on-line check out. This website was built to view what is currently available and provide transparency to the origin, age, and condition of each rug. This provides clients a source to see the current inventory, create their own selection to view, and make an appointment to view that selection on-site.
​
Most of these rugs/carpets are vintage rugs that have a history and uniqueness. Along with the history, the rugs may have condition issues involving reduced pile, aged/muted colors, bled dyes, or other imperfections. All condition issues are noted in each rug's description. Best to fully read the descriptions and view all of the pictures.
