The Collection
Rugs by style
Hand-knotted and hand-tufted area rugs in natural dyes and organic fibres, from scatter size to palace. If you don’t see the size, colour or pattern you are after in our Sarasota showroom, ask — we will source it for you.
Sarasota, Florida · Since 1980
Area and Oriental rugs, expert cleaning, and meticulous repair
A family gallery on South Tamiami Trail. We buy directly, take care of the cleaning and the repairs, and would rather you live with a rug for a week than decide under showroom lights — which is why the in-home trial has never cost anything.
Cleaning & Repair
Bring it in, or let us come get it
Oriental and area rugs hand washed; fringes, edges and holes repaired; damaged sections rewoven; proper padding fitted; appraisals written for insurance. Pick-up and delivery are on us across Sarasota and Manatee counties — and we go further, from Venice and Punta Gorda up through Tampa Bay.
We pick it up
Free collection from your home, or drop it off on Tamiami Trail.
Inspection & written quote
Fibre, dye and damage assessed before any work starts. No surprises.
Hand wash & repair
Dusted front and back, hand washed, dried flat, and repaired by hand.
Delivered and laid
Back on your floor, laid straight and squared, at no extra charge. New padding fitted as well if you need it.
Since 1980
Forty-five years on the same trail
Shah Abbas Rugs has been a family business from the first day. One family, one showroom on South Tamiami Trail, and a standing invitation to stop in and talk rugs — no appointment needed Tuesday through Saturday.
“Take it home. If the room doesn't agree with it, bring it back.”
The house rule, since 1980
