At Shop Oriental Rugs, we take pride in being Charlotte’s premier destination for authentic handmade Turkish and Persian rugs. Conveniently located on Monroe Road, our showroom features a curated inventory of heirloom-quality rugs, each selected for its artistry, craftsmanship, and historical significance. Whether you're searching for a soft-toned Oushak to brighten your living room, a dramatic Persian medallion rug to anchor a formal space, or a traditional runner to add charm to your hallway, we have the perfect piece waiting for you. Each rug in our collection tells a story—woven by hand, steeped in tradition, and built to last for generations.

Why We’re Charlotte’s Go-To Rug Store

We’re not a national chain or a faceless online warehouse. We’re a locally owned business with a passion for fine rugs, offering personalized service and a hands-on shopping experience.

• Only Turkish and Persian Rugs – We focus exclusively on handmade Turkish and Persian rugs to ensure authenticity, cultural value, and investment-worthy quality.

• Truly Handmade – Every rug is hand-knotted using traditional techniques, natural dyes, and organic wool or silk—never mass-produced or machine-made.

• Free In-Home Trial – If you're unsure what will look best in your space, we bring selected rugs to your home, so you can view them under your lighting, with your furniture, and at no obligation.

• Expert Repair and Cleaning Services – We clean, restore, and repair rugs by hand at our facility, using gentle, chemical-free methods to preserve your rug’s integrity.

• No-Pressure, Knowledgeable Guidance – Whether you’re a designer, collector, or new to rugs, we offer one-on-one consultations to help you find a rug that fits your lifestyle, space, and taste.

• Custom Handmade Turkish Rugs – For clients seeking a specific size, style, or color palette, we offer a comprehensive custom order program. Collaborate with us to design your dream rug. We’ll handle the details—from initial sketch to the final weave. Your piece will be crafted by skilled Turkish artisans using natural materials and traditional looms. We’ll update you throughout the process with photos and estimated delivery timelines.

Handmade Rugs for Sale in Charlotte – What You’ll Find

We source each rug with intention, prioritizing authenticity, age, character, and condition. Our hand-picked inventory includes:

• Oushak Rugs – Known for their large-scale floral patterns, pale dyes, and luxurious pile, Oushak rugs are ideal for light, airy interiors. Most are wool on cotton, with a washed vintage finish that pairs beautifully with both modern and traditional decor.

• Persian Medallion Rugs – These rugs feature elaborate central medallions, intricate borders, and jewel-toned palettes. Woven in regions like Tabriz and Kashan, they reflect centuries of fine craftsmanship and carry immense cultural value.

• Tribal Rugs – With bolder designs, angular motifs, and rustic color schemes, tribal rugs add depth and authenticity to eclectic or boho-inspired spaces. Each piece reflects the aesthetic of a specific nomadic group or village.

• Antique & Vintage Rugs – We carry pieces that are 50–100+ years old, lovingly preserved or professionally restored. These rugs are ideal for collectors or anyone who values timeless design.

• Rug Runners – Ideal for narrow spaces like hallways, kitchen walkways, and staircases, our handmade runners are both decorative and functional. We carry various sizes and styles to suit both modern and traditional homes.

​

Each rug we offer is one-of-a-kind—once it’s sold, it’s gone. That’s why our clients trust us to help them find pieces that fit their homes and last for decades.
