Carpets & Rugs in San Francisco, CA If you've been shopping for oriental rugs you will possibly notice a difference between what you're used to seeing and what you will see at Orient. The rugs in this store have been made almost exactly the way rugs were made 2500 years ago. The difference is in the quality, and preparation of the materials, and the revival of old designs. This difference is real and very important. Ninety-five percent of all rugs made today are woven with inexpensive processed wool which has been spun into yarn by machine, and then colored with modern synthetic dyes.

About Us
read moreRug making is a beautiful and ancient form of textile art. The oldest intact oriental rug, the Pazyryk Carpet, is more than 2,500 years old, it is one of the most prized possessions of the Hermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia -- made with a level of technical mastery as advanced as anything made today -- we can only guess how long the art form existed prior to the making of this carpet. Antique rugs are renowned for an almost magical way of dealing with time and use. They become more beautiful throughout the years.

read moreA Traditional design is the one most thought of when considering a handmade oriental, although the designs mostly originate from Persian and Turkish weaving tradition those represent just a part of the vast range of designs referred to as "Traditional". Traditional rugs may feature ancient designs, some well over a thousand years, that are still completely relevant today. These are some of the most versatile designs you will find and they are quintessentially timeless. You can see them used with modern interior designs and in the catalogues of top home design stores.
Meet Owner Greg Halbert
read moreI have always been interested in tribal cultures and textiles but I really started collecting when I lived San Francisco. I became good friends with other like-minded people who were equally obsessed -- "rug nuts" we were called and rightly so, we were always talking, looking, reading, buying -- rugs, rugs, rugs. He urged me to get into the business. I appreciated his assessment but would never bite. Then one day he retired. He asked if I would take the remaining inventory and try selling it for him.

A rug's patina reflects its history, life, and the life of those it lived with. Yes, vacuum the rug just like you would carpet, and with the same equipment. A vacuum with a spinning beater bar is fine, in fact it's one of the best things you can do to keep your rug looking fine and protected from stains. The vacuum's vibration helps break up the dirt and loosen it from the surface so it can be removed.
