HERODOTUS RUGS
Hello! Thank you for visiting HerodotusRugs.com, your store for authentic Oriental rugs at affordable prices!
I started this business because I love the art, workmanship, and history of Oriental rugs. This interest of mine started when I began trying to learn more about a rug I bought in Turkey several years ago. The more I learned, the more I came to realize exactly how high rug prices are often marked up at the retail level. I realized that while many fine rugs deservedly command many thousands of dollars in high-end stores, the common person's general perception that all Oriental Rugs cost an arm and a leg was unfounded and only served to intimidate people from trying to learn more about the wonderful world of Oriental rugs.
With this business I hope to be able to share my passions (rugs) with others, making it possible for a wide range of people to have a functional piece of art to enjoy for many decades -- at prices that I try to keep at 50-75% off of the retail value.
This web site is temporarily under construction. I will add to it as I find the time.
In the meantime, I have put together a quick catalog index of all my rugs HERE. Please feel free to browse and to contact me if you have any questions about my rugs or about rugs in general. I also encourage you to check out some other rug web sites to find out more about Oriental rugs and to comparison shop. I am confident you will be happy with the value that my rugs offer. For starters, try out www.spongobongo.com - this is a very informative site.
Warm Regards,
