Discover the story behind The Rug Center and our enduring passion for fine rugs.
The Rug Center’s journey began not just as a business, but as a continuation of a family passion. Our rug tradition started in 1940, when Javeed’s father dedicated himself to the intricate art of making rugs by hand. This foundational dedication to craftsmanship and quality set the stage for what The Rug Center would become.
In 1981, Javeed embarked on his own entrepreneurial path, establishing his rug business in Atlanta. This marked a significant expansion, and over the years, the business grew, establishing a presence in major rug markets including Atlanta, New York, Miami, and Los Angeles. This broad experience allowed us to deeply understand rug cultures and commerce across diverse regions.
Since 1996, The Rug Center has proudly anchored its retail operations in the vibrant San Francisco Bay Area. From our base in Mountain View, we have become a cornerstone for customers, collectors, and interior designers seeking exceptional Persian, Oriental, handmade, antique, vintage, and modern rugs. Our decades of experience translate into unparalleled expertise in rug sales, cleaning, repair, restoration, and appraisal.
We are more than just rug merchants; we are custodians of an ancient art form. Our commitment extends from sourcing the finest rugs to providing expert care and advice. Whether you are looking for a statement piece for your home, need to preserve a cherished heirloom, or require professional appraisal, The Rug Center offers a depth of knowledge and a level of service built on a legacy of trust and excellence.
