Rug & Kilim Gallery

I was lucky to have stumbled upon this store by looking up rug stores in Burnaby. The owner, Nad, is knowledgeable, no-​nonsense, and very willing to show you his rugs without pressure to buy something right away. Great sense of humour as well.
I always thought handwoven persian rugs were out of my budget. But I was lucky that he had a bunch on clearance when I went (6 ft x 4 ft for $ 295 plus tax). The price is a bit higher than the rugs I saw at Home Depot/​Rona/​Canadian Tire/​Sears but the quality is way better (at least in my opinion). So if you’re thinking of buying a rug, consider going down to this store to look at the selection and broaden your options.
The rugs themselves — every single one was ABSOLUTELY gorgeous. It took me almost an hour to look through the different options for medium size rugs and it was tough to decide on which one to get. He has rugs from Iran, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, all handwoven.
I suggest you look on the website (
) to get a sense of prices. The photos on the website do not do the rugs any justice — you should go down there to see them in person.
