First Rugs, established by Cynthia First and co-owner Ali Khaledi, has been a cornerstone of the Greater Boston Area's rug market for over 25 years. With an extensive background in antiques and a deep appreciation for the artistry of rugs, Cynthia transitioned from her design firm to partner with Ali, a fourth-generation Persian rug dealer from Shiraz, Iran. Their combined expertise reflects the core values of First Rugs—quality, craftsmanship, and timeless design. The company prides itself on a vast selection of over 6,000 rugs, sourced from the finest weaving centers around the world. They prioritize hand-woven pieces that carry the rich history and artistry passed down through generations of artisans.

With showrooms located in Acton, MA, Boston’s SoWa Art+Design District, and New York City, First Rugs is committed to providing exceptional customer service while helping clients discover original and special rugs that fit their aesthetic. The company emphasizes artistry in every piece, believing that the beauty of hand-woven rugs cannot be replicated.
