    new living room rug
    John R.

    Had a rug repaired for a reasonable price, and also purchased a new (antique rug) while I was there. It was great that it included the pad and install for free.

    They're costumer service and prices and collection are unbeatable around the area. I picked some options, u can even show what you like and they bring the closest to your idea, they brought them to my house for a week trial! And then I purchased what i liked the most,and they took care of the rest. Their cleaning rate is also very good, and what was i afraid of was not having faded colors on the rug after cleaning , and it wasn't thankfully, it was cleaned beyond my expectations of cleaning. I would dif comeback & recommended already to many of my friends and we always do our rug shopping or cleaning from this store, if you're tired of other stores options or attitude and disappointed,give them a try Ali I think is the owner, he is very kind hearted,he does his best to take a good care his costumers every time I go.

    Damn, I genuinely wish I had met Ali at Authentic Art Gallery earlier; he is tremendously well-versed in his knowledge about rugs.

I advise…read moreany future customers to ensure all terms are put in writing, as my experience involved retracted commitments and retaliatory threats. In November 2024, I entered a consignment agreement for a rug with a net floor value of $5,500. Notably, the gallery does not appear to use formal consignment contracts. Instead, they use a "Service Contract," which appears to be intended for rug cleaning. The pre-printed language at the bottom relates to cleaning risks and storage after a service is completed, rather than consignment terms. In November 2025, a buyer I sourced independently via eBay visited the gallery and offered $4,000. The owner advised me to reject this, calling it a "low-ball" offer. He suggested I wait because the holiday season was their "busy season" and we could likely get more. Crucially, he stated that if it didn't sell by year-end, he would purchase it. He followed this up in writing on Nov 19: "If you make it $3500 I can take it but by December." Relying on his professional advice and this written buyout promise, I declined the $4,000 sale. After the holiday season passed without a sale, I asked the owner to honor the buyout. He then stalled before stating, "I did not make a firm commitment." He then attempted to pivot to a "wholesale" arrangement that would have netted me only $3,200, less than the original offer he told me to reject. I decided to retrieve my rug on Feb 16, 2026. It was a rainy day, and the store's employee offered to load the rug. Instead of placing the rug directly into the trunk, the employee's handling allowed a fold of the rug to come into contact with dirty standing water on my vehicle's bumper. He did not notice until I pointed it out, at which point he grabbed a rag from my trunk, scrubbed the area, and walked away. When I documented this incident for record purposes, the owner's response was an unprofessional phone call threatening to charge me for 1.5 years of storage fees if I "made a case" out of the loading incident. When I pointed out that storage fees weren't in our agreement, he stated that it "doesn't matter what is in the contract" and that he didn't have time for "BS." Even if his cleaning contract terms applied to consignment, they stipulate that storage fees only begin two weeks after an item is "ready." The owner messaged me on Feb 13 saying he wanted to return the rug, and I picked it up on Feb 16, well within his own two-week window. He then claimed it was "unethical" for me to list the rug on eBay while it was in his shop. This is a strange claim, as my online marketing was doing the work I was technically paying him for. In 15 months, the only time the gallery called me about an offer was from the buyer I sourced and sent to his store. Despite me doing the legwork, I was still prepared to let him take his full commission for simply showing the rug. Helping a business close a sale is not unethical; retracting a written buyout promise after costing a customer a sale is. Anyone considering this gallery should be aware that verbal statements may not be honored, and any attempt to hold the business accountable may be met with threats. I encourage future customers to ensure everything is documented in writing.

One impressive job Sadiq helped us with resulted in the purchase of imported lapis lazuli for an outdoor shower. I've been coming here for years and it's the only place I go anymore.

A 30 gallon, Lawn and Leaf size plastic trash bag. No paper wrap, no bubble wrap, nothing. Most ridiculous thing I've seen from a "upscale store." TRUE upscale starts from the beginning to the END of the sales experience. It gets better... Aesthetically pleasing store if you're into the upscale beach vibe "thing" for your home. Initially, service was wonderful, a pleasant lady asked if I needed any help. Found a lamp yay! Nice discount yay! Pay. They plop it into a CLEAR trash bag. I walk out with said bag. I see black dirt all over the cream shade. Walk back in. Uhh... excuse me I think you gave me a dirty bag. Lady started making an excuse...but no go because it's OBVIOUS the bag literally had dirt in it. No matter! They'll just use sticky tape to pick up the dirt from the shade and put it ANOTHER trashbag. PLUS, they took out the bulb that was already in the socket. Cheap much? Lol!!! I was dying laughing because I walked to Main Beach where my husband was waiting, all the while carrying a giant black trash bag like an off- season Santa sourcing stuff from the 'hood. Yes, I'm local, and no I won't go again. Don't assume anything about your customers.
