Oriental Rug Sales
We offer an extensive selection of handmade Oriental rugs from Persian, Turkish, Afghan, and Indian origins. Each rug showcases traditional craftsmanship and intricate designs. Our in-home consultation service helps clients choose rugs that complement their decor, lighting, and room dimensions while ensuring proper sizing and placement.
Oriental Rug Cleaning
Our professional cleaning process preserves rug longevity through hand washing with wool-specific soap and climate-controlled drying. We handle all handmade rug types including wool, silk, and dhurries. Pick-up/delivery services are available with a 20% discount for self-service options. Each cleaned rug receives personal quality assurance follow-up from our family.
Oriental Rug Repair
We specialize in restoring damaged rugs through fringe repair, edge restoration, and moth damage treatment. Our in-house experts use traditional techniques to reweave worn areas and refinish frayed edges. The restoration process maintains original craftsmanship while extending the rug's usable lifespan for future generations.
In-Home Consultation
Our personalized 'Design with Dave' service brings curated rug selections directly to your home. This allows clients to evaluate rug colors, patterns, and sizes in their actual living environment. The consultation includes professional installation, padding recommendations, and furniture arrangement guidance for optimal aesthetic results.
Padding Services
We provide customized padding solutions that enhance rug longevity and safety. Proper padding prevents slipping, reduces wear, and improves comfort underfoot. Our experts recommend specific padding types based on rug material and placement requirements during the purchasing process.

Always courteous, friendly and welcoming! The Chapin's enjoy chatting with David anytime we come to the store! He is always helpful & makes sure they provide what we need in service! Awesome business to go get your rugs cleaned or new pads for your rugs or just repair! Recommend them for your rug needs!

We had a great experience with David and his team. We have a large, 100+ year old rug, about 12'x10'. Before we brought it Melrose Oriental Rug, it was in disrepair, many large holes that needed to be patched and a lot of work needed around the edges. They finished it a week early and the results were excellent! Great to have it back in our living room.

I recently purchased a small Oriental rug here. They could not have been more accommodating. I ended up with exactly what I wanted, even though when I went in, I wasn't sure what that was. It looks awesome and I couldn't be more pleased.

Melrose Oriental Rug cleaned our living area rug and we are very happy with the results. The rug looks/feels clean and refreshed, and the pile is no longer dented from heavy furniture. These folks are rug professionals! The process was very easy. I called the store before bringing in the rug. They asked a few questions about the size and condition, and provided a cost estimate. We brought the rug into the store, and picked it up two weeks later.

They cleaned six rugs for us. The rugs were picked up, absolutely rejuvenated, and reinstalled by a team of experts. Can't say enough good things about them. Oh, and the price for all of this was quite reasonable.

ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, THE BEST RUG CLEANING BUSINESS IN MASSACHUSETTS! If I could rate them 10 (TEN) stars I would. Dave and his staff have cleaned my oriental rugs (which are older and around which I have decorated my home) so that the rugs appear as if they are brand new. I have on two occasions had rug stains that I thought could never be removed, but, Dave and MELROSE Oriental Rug Company managed to remove them.
Everyone at this company (especially Dave) is so responsive, reliable, and incredibly competent. Dave and everyone at MELROSE Rug completely understand customer service, which is such a rarity today. If you need any services regarding oriental rugs, do not hesitate, and do not look any further. MELROSE Oriental, is hands down, the only place to go!
