FAQ
I do not have a showroom or store. This means I have a small overhead (other than buying the rugs) and it allows me to sell the rugs at modest prices.
Rugs are not my occupation & I am basically a collector of Middle Eastern carpets. Because of time constraints I can only show the rugs by appointment on certain days of the week. However, I can often deliver the rugs or even show them at your home or workplace if you are interested.
I guarantee the authenticity of all my rugs, and will give full refunds for a week or so if you change your mind about any purchase.
Why not choose a naturally made used rug at a great price over a synthetic rug full of volatile organic compounds, which vaporize easily into the air. Some VOCs found in synthetic carpets include benzene, styrene, toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde. People with young children and pets should seriously consider this issue.

I can also show the rug in the South Bay including Santa Cruz and Monterey, or out in Stockton or Sacramento. I’m selling several other Persian carpets as well so feel free to contact me in regard to any of them.
Please email me with your questions. I will be happy to provide you with more photos as well.
thanks
