Maybe you just closed on a new build out in Franklin and the wide-plank hardwood still feels a little bare, or you're standing in your living room trying to picture what rug won't fight with the sofa you already own. A fourth-generation family of rug traders sources hand-knotted pieces from Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India and gets on video with you first — holding the actual rug up to the camera so you can judge the real color and texture before it ever leaves the warehouse — with free shipping and 14 days to decide once it lands.
Every rug we offer Nashville homes is 100% hand-knotted by master weavers — no machine-made imitations, no synthetic shortcuts. Our collection of Persian, Oriental, and antique area rugs is an expansive one, spanning Tabriz, Heriz, Kashan, and Oushak-style patterns, tribal geometrics, sun-faded vintage pieces, and clean modern weaves — each one hand-knotted in 100% wool or wool-and-silk and sourced directly from workshops in Pakistan, Turkey, Afghanistan, China, and India. It's the kind of densely-knotted, one-of-a-kind design work that holds its color and structure for decades and only grows more interesting with age — a timeless appeal that's the whole point of buying an authentic hand-knotted rug in the first place. A rug from Arsh's isn't a seasonal purchase; it's a piece your family keeps.
Also Shipping Free To:
Nashville and every city above get the same free shipping and 14-day return window as our home base in Carlstadt, NJ — no minimum purchase, no hidden delivery fees.
We don't have a Music City storefront, so if you're the type who wants to see a rug's real texture before you commit — especially when you're trying to warm up new hardwood or match a piece to furniture you already love — we built the next best thing: a specialist who gets on camera with you, a nationwide inventory that ships free, and a return window long enough to actually live with the rug under your own light before deciding.
Text or email a photo of your room, then jump on a call — a specialist holds candidates up to natural light so you can judge real color and pile before committing.

Every rug is 100% hand-knotted by master weavers — never machine-made, never a synthetic substitute. We check knot density, wool quality, and dye work before anything ships to Nashville.
Four generations in, our reputation still runs on happy customers, not ad spend. If a rug isn't right, we make it right — that's why the 14-day return window exists.
No inflated "sale" prices, no bait-and-switch quotes. What you see reflects the rug's actual quality and origin — the same honest pricing whether you're in Nashville or our Carlstadt workshop.
Every Nashville customer gets complimentary concierge support — our team helps coordinate professional cleaning and expert repair for your rugs, ours or otherwise, for as long as you own them.
Scroll the collections yourself, or send a room photo and let a specialist pull a shortlist for you.
Your rug leaves our warehouse at no cost and arrives at your Nashville address ready to unroll.
You get 14 days to see how it reads against your floors, your light, and your furniture.
If it's a fit, it's yours. If not, return it inside the window and skip the restocking fee entirely.
"I wasn't sure how a distressed vintage rug would look against our reclaimed wood floors in Franklin, so we did the video call first — glad we did, the color was warmer in person than the photos."
"Ordered a tribal piece for our East Nashville bungalow and it showed up faster than I expected. The 14 days to decide took all the pressure off."
"Sent in a family heirloom from our Belle Meade house for cleaning and repair — it came back looking like new, and the whole process was handled by mail without me lifting a finger."
"We were between two patterns and couldn't decide from photos alone. Seeing them both live on camera side by side made the choice obvious."
"Small rowhouse, so a wrong-size rug would've been a real problem. The specialist actually asked for our room dimensions before recommending anything."
"Four seasons here means our rugs take a beating. Appreciated the care guide they sent along with the order — actually useful, not just boilerplate."
Call, email, or send us a photo of the room — we'll follow up with a shortlist and set a video call so you can see the rugs live before you buy, usually within a business day.
Nashville's humid summers and four real seasons mean rugs see a wide range of conditions — rotate seasonally and keep an eye on indoor humidity.
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 Nashville 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.

No — our only physical showroom is at our headquarters in Carlstadt, New Jersey. Nashville customers shop the full collection online and lean on video consultations to see rugs before ordering.
Our in-home, on-site services — a specialist visiting your home, laying rugs down for you to compare in person, or picking up a rug for cleaning — are only available in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania right now. Nashville is served remotely instead, through video consultations, free shipping, a 14-day return window, and mail-in cleaning and restoration.
Correct — every order ships free to Nashville and the surrounding area, regardless of order size.
That's the worry we hear most — a rug looks perfect on your phone, then it lands in your farmhouse-style living room and the undertone is off, or it reads flatter than you pictured against your floors. You've got 14 days from delivery to decide, no pressure: if it's not right, send it back for a full refund and we won't charge a restocking fee.
Yes — our trade and designer program includes dedicated pricing, tear sheets, and a direct contact for sourcing across multiple client projects.

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.
