About
Rugs that have already lived a life.
Storied Rugs is a curated gallery of one‑of‑a‑kind vintage and antique rugs, hand‑knotted across the great weaving regions of Persia and Turkey. We don’t make rugs, we find them. Every piece is sourced one at a time, washed and restored by specialists, and photographed exactly as it is, so the rug you see is the rug that arrives at your door.
Where Storied Rugs began.
Storied Rugs began the way most good things do, with people who simply couldn’t stop looking at rugs. We grew up around the markets and looms of Persia and Turkey, where a rug is never just décor; it’s a record of the hands that made it and the years it has lived through.
Years in the trade taught us how to read one, its age and region, the quality of its wool and dye, the small repairs it needs to last another lifetime. Today we do what we’ve always loved: hunt down the pieces worth keeping, wash and restore them by hand, and help each one find a new home. It’s less a business than a way of keeping a craft alive, one rug at a time.
From a weaver’s loom to your floor.
Four steps stand between a rug we discover and the one we send to you, and we don’t skip any of them.
Sourced at the source
We buy one rug at a time from the regions where they were woven, choosing only pieces with genuine age, character and sound structure.
Washed & restored
Each rug is hand‑washed and repaired by specialists, secured edges, rewoven ends, gentle cleaning, never over‑restored or stripped of its patina.
Photographed as it is
We shoot every rug in our own studio in natural light, front and back, with true color and any honest wear shown plainly. No two listings are stock photos.
Wrapped & delivered
The rug is rolled, carefully wrapped and shipped free and fully insured across North America, with tracking from the moment it leaves us.
Every rug is the only one of its kind.
None of these were made in a batch. Each was woven by hand decades ago, some forty years old, some closer to eighty, by weavers working a pattern held in memory, knot by knot, over the better part of a year. Time, use and the quiet irregularities of the loom gave every piece a character that can never be repeated. Our work is simply to find them, care for them, and pass them on.
