Sometimes it is hard to imagine how a traditional Oriental rug will work in a home.  The design might appear to be too ornate, or one might fear that the rug will appear “dated”.   At Kebabian’s, each piece is cherry-picked by John Kebabian so that the colors, weave and  design are working together […]

  First impressions are lasting and this gorgeous gallery (kelleghi, kellei) size runner is a knockout in the center hall of a Connecticut shoreline home!  Recently purchased from us, it measures approximately 5′ x 12′ and was hand-knotted in northern Afghanistan by Hazara women.  It was made using handspun vegetally dyed, local wool from sheep inhabiting the mountainous region […]

Achieving this level of beauty is very labor intensive. After the knotting (a.k.a. “weaving) these carpets undergo an extreme finishing process.  First […]

  Part of our mission is to have our rugs transform our customer’s homes into their own unique vision.  We recently had a couple come through our doors for the first time.    They  had intended to purchase more broadloom, but  the industry was unable to accommodate their requirements.  They  had  heard of us through word […]
