Welcome to RUGS BELOW. We pride ourselves on offering luxury for less.
We offer several different ways to help you find exactly what you're looking for: this website, snail-mail offerings, live antique shows, flea markets and other marketplaces, and scheduled visits to our informal warehouse.
On our website, we maintain photographs of various rugs and other inventory items. These photos are often in response to customer inquiries and do not reflect our entire inventory. In fact, the photos on our website are often meant to display specific categories of rugs, to educate some customers, and offer clarification to others.
In addition, much of our inventory is sold so quickly, photos of it never make it to the website. And, pictures of some merchandise that has already been sold stay on the website to represent a specific line or style.
Look for our monthly listing of the antique/collectible shows we are scheduled to attend. We go to many shows, in many different locations, in and out door venues. There are one-day out door marketplaces, such as the Golden Nugget (Lambertville - NJ) or Rice's Market (New Hope - PA) as well as multiple day shows, such as Renninger's Extravaganza (Kutztown, PA) and the famous Brimfield (New England Motel Field - Brimfield, MA). Please let us know if you plan to attend any of the shows on our list so we can bring along the particular style of rug you are looking for - discount tickets may also be available.
From time to time, we offer special merchandise--other than rugs--at drastically reduced prices. Watch your mail for these announcements: Persian carpet bags, Turkish kilim line (handbags, caps, book jackets, pillow covers), needlepoint line (rugs, animal handbags, pillow covers). We might also offer special inventory clearances to our customers through these mailings.
Finally, once our customers have found the type of rug they're looking for, we will often make an appointment to visit our informal warehouse in NYC for the final review and purchase. We can also arrange to ship merchandise.
Give us a call, send us an email or come introduce yourself at our next antique/collectible show.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Julia and David
