Hand-Knotted Rugs for a City That Mixes It Up
Maybe you just moved into a new build off 360 and the polished concrete looks great in photos but feels cold and echoey underfoot. Maybe you're staring at a rug listing on your phone, trying to picture it against the vintage credenza you already own, wondering if that terracotta actually reads warm or just looks orange on screen. That's the exact spot we help Austin folks with — pulling options that fit your light, your floors, and the boho-meets-hill-country mix most rooms here actually are, then getting on a video call so you see the real color and texture before it ever ships. Every rug comes from our looms in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India, shipped free with a 14-day return window if it doesn't land right.

Hand-Knotted, Not Machine-Made
Finest Oriental, Persian & Antique Rugs in Austin
Every rug we offer Austin homes is 100% hand-knotted by master weavers — no machine-made imitations, no synthetic shortcuts. Our collection of Persian, Oriental, and antique area rugs is an expansive one, spanning Tabriz, Heriz, Kashan, and Oushak-style patterns, tribal geometrics, sun-faded vintage pieces, and clean modern weaves — each one hand-knotted in 100% wool or wool-and-silk and sourced directly from workshops in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India. It's the kind of densely-knotted, one-of-a-kind design work that holds its color and structure for decades and only grows more interesting with age — a timeless appeal that's the whole point of buying an authentic hand-knotted rug in the first place. A rug from Arsh's isn't a seasonal purchase; it's a piece your family keeps.

Built for the Way Austin Shops
No storefront on South Congress — just a specialist on your screen
We hear the same thing a lot from Austin customers: they'd love to walk into a shop and put their hands on a few rugs before deciding, but we don't have one here — only in Carlstadt, NJ. So we built the next best thing. You send a couple of photos of the room, a specialist gets on video and holds candidates right up to the camera so you can actually see how the pile catches the light, and the whole thing moves at your pace, whether you're finishing a new build before guests come over or slowly restyling a room after a move.
01
Virtual Video Consultation
Snap a picture of the room you're working on, then jump on a video call — a specialist will hold candidates up to the camera live so you can judge the real color, pile height, and texture before committing.
02
Free Shipping to Austin
Orders leave our facility within days and ship to any Austin-area address at no charge, no minimum required.
03
14-Day Return Window
Unroll it, live on it, see how it reads against your floors for up to 14 days. Doesn't fit the space? Ship it back — we don't charge restocking fees.
04
Cleaning & Restoration by Mail
Inherited a rug or picked one up at a Round Top find? We handle hand-washing, moth treatment, fringe work, and full restoration through a simple mail-in process.
05
Trade & Designer Program

From Austin Homes
What Austin customers are telling us
★★★★★
"I was nervous ordering a rug sight-unseen for our Zilker bungalow, but the video call showed the true colors better than any photo could have. It landed exactly how they described it."
Megan T.
Zilker, Austin
★★★★★
"Our Tarrytown living room needed something more traditional than most of what's out there right now, and their team actually understood the assignment."
David R.
Tarrytown, Austin
★★★★★
"Sent in a family kilim for cleaning by mail and it came back looking cared for, not overworked. Easy process for a Barton Hills household with zero time to spare."
Priya K.
Barton Hills, Austin
★★★★★
"We needed something substantial enough for our great room without going too formal. The video call made it easy to compare two rugs side by side before we committed, and it shipped free within the week."
Chris H.
Westlake, Austin
★★★★★
"Our 100-year-old bungalow has quirky proportions, and the specialist actually measured around our furniture layout with us on camera instead of just pointing us to a size chart. Rug fits perfectly."
Emily S.
Clarksville, Austin
★★★★★
"Ordered a rug for our home office and wasn't sure about the color under our lighting. The 14-day window let us live with it through a full week of video calls before deciding to keep it."

Keep It Beautiful
Austin Rug Care Guide
Austin's long, dry summers and dust from live oaks and cedar can dull pile and fade color faster than humid climates — a few extra minutes of care goes a long way.
Rotate every 6–12 months
Even light traffic and sun exposure wear unevenly. Turning the rug periodically keeps fading and pile crush balanced across the whole piece.
Vacuum with the pile, not against it
Use a vacuum without a beater bar, or turn it off, and go in the direction the pile lies. This lifts dust without pulling at hand-tied knots or fringe.
Blot spills immediately — never rub
Rubbing pushes liquid deeper into the wool and can spread color. Blot with a clean, dry cloth, then let it air dry fully before walking on it again.
Use a rug pad underneath
A quality pad prevents slipping, adds cushioning, and lets a rug breathe from below — which matters most in climates with real humidity swings.
Get it professionally cleaned every 1–3 years
Hand-knotted wool holds soil deep in the pile that home vacuuming can't reach. Periodic professional cleaning keeps the wool from drying out or wearing prematurely — and it's part of the complimentary concierge service every Austin customer has access to.
Call in a specialist for repairs, don't DIY
Loose fringe, edge wear, or moth damage should go to a specialist, not a home fix. We coordinate expert repair and restoration through our concierge service — reach out before small damage becomes bigger.

Good to Know
Austin FAQ
Do you have a showroom in Austin?
Not currently — our only physical showroom is at our headquarters in Carlstadt, New Jersey. Austin customers shop the full collection online and by video, with free shipping and a 14-day return window on everything.
Can a specialist come look at my room in person?
Our in-home visits — on-site consultations, in-home placement, and local pickup for cleaning — are only available to customers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Austin is served remotely, through video consultations, free shipping, a 14-day return window, and mail-in cleaning and restoration, so you still get one-on-one guidance without a home visit.
Is shipping actually free to Austin?
Yes — every order ships free anywhere in the Austin area, with no minimum purchase required.
What happens if the rug doesn't work in my space?
Honestly, this is the question we get most, and it makes sense — color on a screen and color in your living room at 6pm are two different things. That's what the 14 days from delivery are for. Roll it out, walk on it, see how it looks against your floors and furniture in real light, not just the photo you fell in love with. If it's not the one, send it back in that window for a refund. No restocking fees, no guilt trip.
Do you work with Austin designers and stagers?
Yes — our trade program includes tiered pricing, tear sheets, and a dedicated specialist for ongoing client work.

Color-filtered results pull live from arshs.com. A few swatches map to the closest matching catalog tag rather than an exact name match — "Ivory & Cream" and "Beige & Tan" both draw from the Beige/Tan tags, and "Charcoal & Black" from Black — since those precise shades aren't tagged separately yet. "Multicolor" currently has a small, hand-picked inventory (3 rugs) on arshs.com.
