My husband and I stopped in and had a lovely conversation with Sam. Sam is a small business owner, originally from Iran. He is very knowledgeable on rugs, generous, and kind. He helped us find the PERFECT rug within our budget. He has a passion for rugs, evidenced by his collection and breadth of knowledge. We shopped across the street without any luck. Sam is so incredibly professional. He will take good care of you! He worked with us to fit our budget and has a variety of options in different price ranges. He has quite the gallery of options. Even if you aren't shopping, the beauty of the rugs he has displayed in the store will blow you away. He even has some rugs from the 1800's if you're looking for an antique piece. read more

Thank you Sam. He really worked with us both in the store and in bringing the carpets to our Yarrow Point home. We could see them and then have some days to decide...of course he helped us so it turned out our first choice was the best choice. Over time, i have had questions about the rugs and he has been so helpful. I will update the review with more images of our items and the store. Rugs are handmade, often in wool. We felt confident in the information provided. He really listens and remembers helping to guide you as little or as much as you wish. While knowledgeable and charming, Sam treated us fairly providing good value. It was a lovely experience with no pressure. We offer our gratitude for making it a positive fun experience in what was, at first, a bit of an overwhelming experience . Thank you Sam and team! Oh and did I mention he even brought me a box of shoe mitts since I require them at my home or shoes off. He goes above and beyond. Go visit the store...! read more

Owner is exceptionally knowledgeable and generous with his information. Store has scads of rugs of all ages and prices.

Great customer service and very knowledgeable owner! Sam was very helpful in finding a couple of rugs for my house. I had to return one because it wasn't quite right once I put it in the space at home, but he took it back and helped me find another that was just perfect. He made the exchange easy, and was very nice to deal with. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. read more

My wife and I had a very pleasant meeting with Sam today. He explained the recommended method of flattening wavy rugs, potentially saving us from spending money on solutions that may not work. Although we were not looking for additional oriental rugs, we could see that he has a large collection of beautiful rugs. read more

i had sold my parents Oriental rug to Sam several years ago. Through the years, I regretted having sold it. i contacted Sam and he still had the rug and sold it back to me at a very fair price. I was so impressed with Sam's understanding and kindness. I was just thrilled to have it back. He had professionally washed and fumigated it. it looks better than ever. I can't thank Sam enough!!!! read more

Excellent customer service and a great selection of obviously high quality rugs! Every one we looked at was gorgeous, unique, and well-made. The owner was also a super sweet and generous man, and now we have a beautiful rug in our living room :) read more

Sam was great! I had some questions about my rug which he answered with insight that only comes from years of experience. I highly recommend this establishment! read more

Visited ORG to find two runners for our hallway and entryway. Sam was very knowledgeable and patient in helping us to find a pair of runners which matched each other and the colors in our home. He willingly shared his extensive knowledge about the carpets he imports as well as his skill for carpet selection. This was an unhurried pleasant experience which led to a perfect match in our home. We would highly recommend a visit to this business. read more

Oriental Rug Gallery - Beautiful runner! Thanks, Sam - Carpeting Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I was looking for three accent rugs and I found the most beautifully hand knotted Persian rugs that was perfect for my new house. It's like pieces of art on my floors and you practically cannot wear them out and they don't change color and the pile is dense. I got 2 in wool and the white and pink rug is pure silk. Looks like a jewel in the light. I enjoy them every day. Sam was a truly nice gentlemen and courteous and showed me numerous different styles and he gave me a price I could not resist. Do yourself s favor and experience the art of the Persian weavers. Just unparalleled. read more

Add us to the long list of satisfied customers of Sam and the Oriental Rug Gallery. We were referred by a friend and did our online research. We were a little skeptical of all the 5 star ratings but our first visit proved them all right. In fact, we would say 6 stars at a minimum. On our visit we walked in and introduced ourselves, talked to Sam about what we wanted, colors, etc. He held up his finger and said he had just the thing. He walked over to a large selection of rugs that were rolled up and tied. Looked at a couple and announced that "this was the one". Pulled it out, untied and unrolled it. IT WAS THE ONE. It was like a magic trick. Sam is a true gentleman, extremely knowledgeable and an honest businessman. If you do not know anything about oriental carpets this is the place you want to go. If you are an expert in oriental carpets this is the place you will go. Thank you very much, Sam. We will be back. Chuck and Evelyn read more

My husband and I recently purchased a beautiful rug from Sam. He was incredibly helpful in the process. Not at all pushy and patient as I compared a few options. We loved his selection and customer service. Would absolutely purchase future rugs from Sam! read more

I think you are going to get the best deal on beautiful pieces of art!!!! The owner and shopkeeper is very knowledgeable and will help you pick out something (from his vast inventory) that is perfect for your home or office!!! Buy from him!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! read more

I brought my 8ft x 12ft rug to Oriental Rug Gallery after extensive flood damage to it. Mr. Amirkia was so helpful, and took great care of me. He was patient and kind on the phone, offered (and followed through) on helping me with the logistics of getting the rug into the store (and back out of the store later when I picked it up). His work was great, and his advice was extremely helpful for a novice like me. Seeing the nice collection he has, I'm already making plans to come in and purchase something for the house later. I highly recommend coming in to the gallery, you won't be disappointed! read more

This one star goes to this business as I called and asked a very simple and reasonable question and instead of answering me he responded in a condescending way. Then I went into the store and he was on the phone, never acknowledged us walking in, never bothered greeting us, and he stayed on his phone while we were folding the rugs ourselves to see if we like anything. There's plenty of other stores around so why deal with someone bitter who doesn't seem interested in making sales. read more

Was looking to buy an oriental rug for our bar, expecting to spend the whole afternoon in Bellevue at the various rug galleries. Chose to come to .ORG first because of the reviews and was not disappointed. Told Sam what size and style. Found the perfect match within 15 minutes. It looks absolutely stunning in the area. Many positive comments by family and friends. read more

My husband and I recently bought a beautiful rug from Sam and were so grateful for his knowledge and service. We have purchased rugs all over the world and absolutely love the quality of this silk rug that was a great price as well. After working with Sam we trusted him with our others rugs for cleaning. They came back beautiful despite having many spots when we brought them. read more

I went there couple weeks ago and I did not have a good experience at all. The seller was mean. My advice to the seller is to look around and learn basics of customer service. I will not purchase anything from someone that dose not respect me. read more

I brought my 20 year old rug to a Seattle area oriental rug cleaner who told me he wouldn't even try to clean it because although it has a Persian design it was Chinese made and the colors would run in the cleaning. He said he would throw it away but I could also take it back home and spot clean it as nothing made during the Soviet era is worth keeping. I decided to go back to the Oriental Rug Gallery in Bellevue that had treated me so courteously on the phone but had quoted a price $1/sq ft more than the Seattle store. I brought it in and asked if they could clean it. They said "Of course." They also identified it as a Chinese made rug but were kind and polite in conversation. They didn't ask if there were any pet stains although I have spot cleaned a lot of cat throw-up from of the rug over the years. My rug was finished on the day I was promised it (1 week later) and there were no extra or unexpected charges. It is clean and beautiful with no runs of color. They told me they had hand washed it. I am grateful and it looks wonderful in my living room once again. THANK YOU Oriental Rug Gallery. It is obvious why you have been such a successful business for so long. My next oriental rug purchase will be from you! read more

We walked into the Rug Gallery this weekend to find a very specific rug for the entryway in our house. Sam took the time to walk us through his gallery, rolled out numerous carpets and was finally able to find the perfect one for us! We really appreciated his help and would highly recommend his gallery should you need anything special for your home. read more

Sam did a great job helping us pick a beautiful rug! Gave us a great price as well! Thanks, we'll be back.

Love the oriental rug gallery. The owner is very nice and helpful and always willing to make a deal. Already bought three carpets from him.

Each rug is hand crafted beautifully & contains so much character. Very high quality! The store itself is breathtaking to look at & clean/organized. The owner is so helpful & kind, will definitely be back again!! read more

I found the owner Sam Amirkia to be absolutely wonderful! The store is extremely well organized and very pleasant. The quality of the carpets seems outstanding. Most impressive was the cordial way in which I was treated by the owner. He demonstrated outstanding knowledge of carpets, could tell me the country of origin, the quality of silk, the signature woven into each carpet, and a great deal more. Sam is generous with his knowledge, personable, and very professional. The selection is vast and very well organized. I unreservedly recommend him and Oriental Rug Gallery on Main ST. to anyone even remotely interested in the beauty of, and investment in, an oriental rug, whether it be Persian, etc. CHECK it out! read more
