As soon as I found out about this unique rug specialty shop located in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke, Virginia, I had to go visit it. A rug is an item of beauty. An art collectible to be enjoyed and proudly displayed for others to admire. I should know for one of the first things I purchased when I bought my first house years ago in Boston was a genuine, vintage/semi-antique, 50-year-old signed Kashan rug.
After having been selected as number 4 of Yelp's Top 50 most prolific Elites of 2025, a year when I was also awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Photographer of the Year Award at their Yelpies 2025 Award Ceremony, an event that honored the highest-performing Yelp Elites, and where last year I was awarded the Yelp Triad Squad Yelper of the Year Award, I decided that this year, as an All-Star Yelp Elite, I not only wanted to be the first to discover new restaurants and businesses, and bring them to the attention of the public, but also to uncover those found in hidden paths that for one reason or another have not reached the public in its totality. And Tribal Rugs Gallery in the Cave Spring area of Roanoke, Virginia, is a perfect example.
Founded by Mohammed Hassanzada in Octomer of 2017, who came to America with his family to escape persecution in Afghanistan and who absolutely love this area and wonderful community. His goal is to provide, beautiful, high-quality Rugs and jewelry to the people of central Virginia.
His gallery features a large collection of handcrafted rugs of many styles, colors, and sizes, as well as unique handmade jewelry sourced from regions like Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey, and India. This in a welcoming, community-focused environment known for helpful and expert services. And I can personally vouch for this because he welcomed me with open-arms to his store and talked to me about the nature of his business and how he was about to receive a large quantity of unique rugs in a few days. We walked around his rug gallery and he showed me a great variety of beautiful wool and silk rugs that would make an excellent addition to any home.
In addition to their handcrafted oriental rugs sales, featuring handspun wool pieces, traditional Kazak designs from Afghanistan, and intricate Tabriz city rugs from Iran in various colors and sizes, they also provide rug repair and rug cleaning. And offer pickup and delivery services for these.
I highly recommend this establishment for all those looking for authentic (not imitations), genuine, hand-made rugs to beautify their homes and provide a sense of enjoyment to their families and close friends. read more
