The Persian Carpet

Barak did a great job showing us around the shop and was very knowledgeable. They have newer imports that look antique as well as high quality rugs that are actual antiques. Really pleasant shopping experience.

My recent experience with The Persian Carpet could not have been better. I am a 70-​year-​old with mobility issues. I called The Persian Carpet and gave them the dimensions, description, and budget for my ideal rug. They sent me an Email with three excellent options. I chose one, which they delivered promptly and offered to let me «live with it» to be certain that it worked in my space. The delivery folk were very nice and moved the furniture necessary for placing the rather large rug where I wanted it. It was obvious immediately that I had chosen the right one! From beginning to end my experience was optimum. Everyone with whom I spoke was delightful and the rug was an excellent value.

Customer service gets no better than at the Persian Carpet. I have purchased two rugs from them in the past few years, and have nothing but love for the family that runs that runs the store. I had thought that their gorgeous rugs were out of my price range, but they were so great in taking the time to help me find something I loved that I could afford. I continue to return to the store just to browse (it’s gorgeous, one of the nicest places in Chapel Hill). There is never any pressure to buy. If I had more money, I would get a new rug from them every year.
They are also incredibly knowledgeable about the rugs they sell as well as their provenance. If I understand correctly, they travel several times a year to the middle east and beyond to insure that the rugs are built to their exacting standards. A visit to the store is a history lesson in the art of weaving itself! Even if you can’t afford to buy a rug, you should stop by just to meet these friendly locals.
