Established in 1930 by V. George Rustigian in Providence, Rhode Island, Rustigian Rugs is a longstanding provider of high-quality area rugs and carpeting. Founded during the Great Depression, Rustigian Rugs began as a small operation out of a family home, leveraging connections in the oriental rug business. Over the decades, the company expanded its offerings from new and antique carpets to include a specialty in wall-to-wall carpeting. Following George's death in 1980, his wife Rosalind, affectionately known as Roz, continued to grow the family business by transitioning to a more modern framework, including computerized operations for inventory and customer service.
Today, Rustigian Rugs is housed in a former bank building at One Governor Street, showcasing a vast selection of rugs and carpets from around the world. The store features expert services for custom rugs, allowing clients to design personalized pieces that are crafted overseas. Their offerings also include cleaning and restoration services, employing a fully equipped operation capable of handling both antique and modern textiles. With a focus on local and global responsibility, Rustigian Rugs emphasizes community involvement and sustainability by sourcing local professionals and vendors.
Staffed by a team with over 110 years of combined experience, Rustigian's knowledgeable employees provide exceptional customer service, making the selection and installation process enjoyable and seamless. As a well-respected establishment in Rhode Island, the company prides itself on quality, accountability, and a commitment to exceeding customer expectations while preserving the rich heritage of rug-making.
