You only need to look at one place for a beautiful rug - Istanbul Rug. After eight months of…read morelooking for rugs online and in stores, we finally checked out Istambul Rugs. Within three days, Oggi and his crew were at our home, showing us different rugs. Oggi has an incredible eye for what works well. He is also very good at knowing what a potential client likes. We came in for two rugs and ended up with four rugs. The rugs make our home feel like a home. They're beautiful. Living with them feels like living in fine contemporary art. The rugs are hand loomed silk and wool. They're vegetable dyed, too. The quality is excellent. You can see and feel the difference from rugs we looked at from other name brand places like ABC, Arhaus, Loomy, or West Elm. Five stars all around - I highly recommend Istanbul Rugs.

I need to win the husband lotto so I can buy a rug for every room in my house. The coolest thing about this shop is they come to your home and let you see how the rug looks in your space - we were able to try a couple patterns out. Thanks so much for the caring service !! I highly recommend this shop.

Local shop Ruby Rugs gave us a lovely experience with great customer service! The shop owner and staff took the time to flip through stacks of (very heavy) rugs for us to review, then extracted them to be placed side by side to compare. After we had narrowed it down, they offered to bring the short list to our house to try out in our house. They did all the heavy lifting to place the rugs, and even gave guidance on interior design. This level of customer service and care is fantastic! We selected a gorgeous rug that fits our space and personality perfectly. If you are local and want a quality modern rug, definitely check this place out!

We loved our first rug from Noor and Sons so much we decided we needed to go back for a second…read more These are utilitarian, beautiful, unique pieces of art. And--we can confidently say, now that we've had our first for almost two years--these rugs are also very durable! They hide dirt amazingly well, disguise spills, and so far we don't see any wear on our first rug despite it being in a high traffic area. I'm sure these rugs will show their age over time, but that will only add to their appeal. We also love the rug pads Noor and Sons use. They have just the right amount of give underfoot and do not slide at all on our wood, and now linoleum, floors. The custom cut rug pads alone lend so much value to shopping with Noor and Sons. The quality of the first rug has made us confident to go for a second, this time for the kitchen. We tried out nine different rugs at home in a variety of sizes and colors. Noor helped us pick out the rug we ultimately choose and kept us within budget. The rug lends a lot of warmth to our otherwise no-frills apartment kitchen. The size is also super versatile and we think it will look great wherever we move next.

They also helped to move furniture for pick up and return. The rugs were well cleaned, and the fringe on some of the rugs was not damaged. I can't same the same for a past company that cleaned my rugs and the fringe came back looking damaged. I felt like a valued customer, and I hope I will always feel that way. Some business people are only "nice" until they grow their business, and then you no longer matter. My gut tells me that is not the case here. They will get my business again.

We've had a great experience with Access Rugs! We were introduced at the Alameda Antiques Fair…read morewhere we met the owner Ata who helped us find the perfect 8x10 rug for our bedroom. It is a beautiful design and quality and really brings the room together. We reached back out for Access Rug's cleaning services after we purchased a vintage Heriz rug from Facebook Marketplace and realized it smelled like wet dog after getting it home. They explained the whole rug cleaning process to us and how he would ensure the 40 year old rug was preserved through the process. He came and picked it up and was very communicative throughout the process. The rug took a few extra days to dry than expected, and Ata was so apologetic and even offered to bring us a loaner rug because we had family coming into town!! Totally above and beyond! He then came and dropped the rug back off and it looks and smells fantastic. We trust Access Rugs for any of our rug needs in the future.

I contacted Mohammad because I had three Oriental rugs that badly needed cleaning, and one of them…read morewas damaged by moths. Mohammad was very easy to work with and did a wonderful job. The Persian rug, which is the highest-quality rug, came out really beautiful and looks brand new. So did my larger Afghani tribal rug. The rug with the moth damage was the lowest quality of the three and the oldest of the three. It is also an Afghani tribal rug. Mohammad offered me choices and did not pressure me to spend a lot of money on having it re-woven; I would have spent a lot more than the rug was worth. Even though that rug is not super high quality, I have always liked the colors and the pattern, and he was able to patch it at a reasonable cost, and I put the damaged area under some furniture so it doesn't show. The patches are strong and will protect the rug from further damage in that area. Mohammad also gave me a good explanation of how to care for these rugs. Following that advice years ago would likely have protected the smaller Afghani tribal rug from damage, and I will definitely have the rugs washed and cleaned more often in the future. I found Mohammad to be knowledgeable and fair, easy to work with, and to provide a great service. He has a deep knowledge and appreciation of Oriental rugs and he seems to genuinely care about being fair to the customer as well as about doing a good job.

Most importantly, Fazli and his staff are extremely knowledgeable about rugs (the materials, weaving, dying, designs, and history), kind and fair, and a pleasure to work with.

Absolutely fell in love with this place! Just recently…read morepurchased our first home and it's wooden floors throughout, so wanted to bring a bit of soul to the living room and decided on a rug. Husband and I went looking for one and visited quite a few different places but this place stood out. The selection is vast in colours and sizes and the seller was a true gentleman. We had no idea there was so much to consider when choosing a rug and he was patient and gave us lots of information. He showed us different styles/patterns until we narrowed down to ones that matched our personalities. He asked and listened to our answers regarding what style of room we wanted to create and our personal style and tastes. (We wanted deep rich reds/Victorian) and didn't waste time showing us rugs that didn't fit who we are. We wasn't pressured nor made to feel like idiots for not knowing anything about rugs. We left with his words in mind and looked again at our living room space. Two days later we went back and knew exactly what we wanted. The gentleman was so welcoming and we got straight to it. We are now the proud owners of a hand woven wool Pakistani Bokhara pattern rug (thank you for sharing your knowledge as I had no idea!) prices are reasonable depending on what you want, the size and the make but he will guide you through it all.

The name "Claremont Rug Company" almost seems a misnomer; in fact what they are selling are art…read moreworks for the floor. A visit to their beautiful gallery in north Oakland is like being in a bazaar in ancient Persia. This is one of the premier sources for true antique Persian rugs in the U.S. and we are fortunate to have them in the Bay Area. It is important to emphasize that this is not the place to go for the kind of new Persian-design rugs which can be found in most rug stores. With the current international sanctions on imports from Iran, these new rugs are woven in Pakistan, India or China, can be of reasonable quality and relatively inexpensive and may be all you need. But if you are interested in the real thing - antique hand knotted Persian rugs (at least 80 years old) with stunning natural vegetable dye colors in excellent condition - Claremont Rug Company is the place to go. The experience of visiting their gallery is unlike a visit to a typical rug showroom where a salesman will pull back a corner of each rug in a large pile of rugs in the approximate size range you are looking for. At Claremont Rug Company you are strongly advised to make an appointment so that you have the gallery to yourself. You most likely will be greeted by Jan David Winitz, the very personable owner. He is a longtime collector and extremely knowledgeable on all types of Persian rugs. After determining the correct size, Mr. Winitz will use his uncanny color sense to pick out rugs to show from his vast inventory. With his crew, Mr. Winitz lays out each rug so that you can view it in the whole from all sides. In this way my wife and I found three good prospects for each of the rooms where we needed rugs. We left the gallery with excellent pictures and descriptions of each of the rugs. There was absolutely no high-pressure salesmanship whatsoever. After a few days, when we determined that we wanted to take the next step, we called to make an appointment to have the rugs shown in our home. Mr. Winitz and his crew then came to our home and patiently laid out each prospective rug in its intended place. After we had chosen the rugs we wanted to purchase, they were taken away for cleaning and minor repairs and then returned and installed complete with padding. Claremont Rug Company obviously represents the very top of the rug market. These fine old rugs are not inexpensive, but we felt the prices for the rugs we purchased were reasonable given their extremely high quality and excellent condition and that we therefore absolutely got high value for the amount we paid. In addition, the whole selection and purchasing experience was very pleasant and satisfying, which is not always the case in buying rugs. If you are in the market for the very best ancient Persian rugs, we would highly recommend Claremont Rug Company. Even if you are not currently in the market, but just like the look of these beautiful works of art, you should get their brochures or catalog. Christine Winitz, Jan's wife and a collector herself, puts these together and they are true works of art on their own.
