Every rug in our collection is 100% hand-knotted — no machine-made shortcuts, no synthetic fibers standing in for real wool and silk. We're a family business now in its fourth generation, sourcing directly from workshops in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India, and helping customers find the right piece whether we're standing in your living room or walking you through options on a video call. Free shipping to 48 states, a 14-day return window, and honest guidance from people who actually know rugs.
A fine rug is defined by how it's made, not just how it looks. Every piece we sell is hand-knotted, one row at a time, by weavers who've spent years learning the craft — a single rug can take weeks or months on the loom. That's what gives a fine rug its knot density, its natural wool or silk pile, and its ability to hold color and shape for decades instead of fading and flattening after one winter. Our collection of Persian, Oriental, and antique area rugs is an expansive one: Tabriz, Heriz, Kashan, and Oushak-style patterns, tribal geometrics, sun-faded vintage pieces, and clean modern weaves — every one hand-knotted and one-of-a-kind, sourced directly from workshops in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India. It's a timeless appeal that machine-made and tufted rugs simply can't replicate — a rug from Arsh's isn't a seasonal purchase, it's a piece your family keeps.
Our only physical showroom is at our workshop in Carlstadt, New Jersey, and our in-home visits reach New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. Everywhere else in the country, we bring the showroom to you over video, so you get the same one-on-one guidance no matter your zip code.
For customers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania: a specialist visits with real rugs in hand, places them in your space, and leaves you to live with the options before deciding.
Anywhere else in the country: send a couple of photos of the room, then get on video with a specialist who holds candidates up to the camera so you see the real color and texture first.

"I was nervous ordering a rug sight-unseen, but the video call showed the true colors better than any photo could have. It landed exactly how they described it."
"You can tell the difference in a hand-knotted piece the moment you unroll it — the density, the way it lays flat right away. Worth the wait for the right one."
"A specialist came to the house, walked our living room with us, and left three rugs to try before we chose. Felt like real service, not a sales pitch."
"Ordered from across the country without ever seeing the rug in person. The video call showed the real texture, not just a flat photo, so there were no surprises."
"Four generations of family-run business really came through in how they handled everything — no pushy sales, just honest guidance from people who know rugs."
"Appreciated that nobody pushed us toward the most expensive option. The specialist was upfront about what fit our budget and the rug still looks incredible."
Call, email, or send a couple of photos of your room — we'll come back with a shortlist and set a time to walk you through the rugs in person or on video, usually within a business day.
Hand-knotted rugs are built to last generations, but a little routine care keeps them looking their best year after year.
Even light traffic and sun exposure wear unevenly. Turning the rug periodically keeps fading and pile crush balanced across the whole piece.
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.
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.
A quality pad prevents slipping, adds cushioning, and lets a rug breathe from below — which matters most in climates with real humidity swings.
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 customer has access to.
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.

A fine rug is 100% hand-knotted, not machine-made or tufted — a single piece can take weeks or months on the loom. Knot density, natural wool or silk, and hand-applied dye work are what separate a fine rug from a mass-produced imitation, and it's why a well-made piece can last for generations instead of a few years.

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.
