Hand-Knotted, Not Machine-Made
Finest Oriental, Persian & Antique Rugs in Bergen County, NJ
Every rug we offer Bergen County, NJ 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.

Your Local Rug House
The only Bergen County rug shop you can actually walk into
Maybe you just finished a renovation and the room still doesn't feel done. Maybe you're trying to match a rug to a sofa you already own, or you just want the house to feel right before everyone comes over for the holidays. Whatever brought you here, you've probably already learned that a screen can't tell you the truth about a rug's color or weight — you have to see it under your own light. Taimur Imran started Arsh's Rugs right here in North Jersey in 2014, continuing a hand-knotted rug trade his family has worked since his great-grandfather Allah Buksh in Lahore, Pakistan. Four generations later, Carlstadt is still where every rug is inspected, cleaned, repaired, and packed — so if you're in Bergen County, you get to see it all in person, first, before it ships anywhere else in the country.

From Bergen County Homes
What our neighbors are saying
★★★★★
"We drove over from Ridgewood not expecting much and ended up spending an hour on the workshop floor — seeing the knot count up close made the decision so much easier than shopping online ever could."
Karen D.
Ridgewood, NJ
★★★★★
"They picked up our old Tabriz from our house in Tenafly for cleaning and had it back within two weeks, looking like new. Having the actual workshop nearby made the whole thing feel low-risk."
Michael F.
Tenafly, NJ
★★★★★
"A specialist brought three runners to our home in Paramus and left them for a few days. We kept the Kazak. It's rare to find a family business this hands-on so close by."
Sandra L.
Paramus, NJ
★★★★★
"A specialist came to the house, walked our living room with us, and left three rugs to try before we chose. Picked up the one we didn't keep two days after we called — no hassle at all."
Joseph M.
Franklin Lakes, NJ
★★★★★
"We've used them for cleaning twice now on an heirloom Persian rug older than I am. Both times it came back looking cared for, not stripped of its character."
Denise P.
Englewood, NJ
★★★★★
"Being this close to the Carlstadt workshop, we just drove over and walked the floor ourselves. Nice to deal directly with the family instead of a random salesperson."

Keep It Beautiful
Bergen County, NJ Rug Care Guide
Forced-air heat through a Bergen County winter dries out both your skin and your wool — a humidifier and a slightly more frequent vacuuming schedule keep rugs from drying out.
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 Bergen County, NJ 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.

Bergen County FAQ
Can I actually visit your showroom?
Yes — our workshop and showroom at 820 Washington Avenue, Suite 2, Carlstadt, NJ 07072 is real, and it's the only Arsh's location open for in-person visits. Every rug we sell nationwide passes through it.
Do I need an appointment, or can I walk in?
Visits are by appointment so a family member can walk you through the collection and answer questions properly — call (201) 552-2733 or email info@arshs.com and we'll find a time, including evenings and weekends when possible.
What's your full Bergen County / North Jersey service area?
In-home consultations, free delivery and placement, and on-site cleaning pickup cover Bergen County towns including Ridgewood, Tenafly, Alpine, Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, Englewood, Paramus, Carlstadt, and neighboring North Jersey communities like Montclair and Short Hills. If you're unsure whether your town is covered, just ask.
How does on-site cleaning and repair work?
A lot of the rugs we see in Bergen County homes aren't ones people bought — they're grandma's, or they came from a parent's house, and folks are understandably nervous about handing something like that to a stranger. We'll come look at it in your home first, so you're not shipping an heirloom off sight-unseen. If it needs work, it goes back to our own Carlstadt workshop — not a third-party vendor — for hand-cleaning, fringe repair, or restoration, and we bring it home again once it's done right.
What if I'd rather shop remotely instead of visiting?
That works too — every order ships free with a 14-day return window from delivery and no restocking fees, and we offer virtual video consultations where a specialist holds rugs up to the camera so you can see true color and texture first.

"Multicolor" currently has a small, hand-picked inventory (3 rugs) on arshs.com.
