About Us
For more than 25 years Antique Rug Studio has offered an extensive and unusual stock – now approaching 4000 items – of Oriental and European carpets and American hooked rugs including strong representations of Oushak, Chinese, Serapi / Heriz, Sultanabad / Mahal and Indian, especially in large and uncommon sizes.
