We carry tons of rugs here at Woodstock Furniture & Mattress Outlet. As a matter of fact, our Acworth showroom is one of the largest rug retailers in Georgia! We’re very proud of our area rug collection, however, a number of our most popular rugs come from a single manufacturer — Oriental Weavers.
Join us below for a dive into Oriental Weavers, their story, and info about how and where their rugs are made. Perhaps most importantly, read on for a look at some of their beautiful rugs and why the collections below are among the best selling rugs in our showroom.
About Oriental Weavers
Founded by then-unknown Egyptian entrepreneur and businessman Mohamed Farid Khamis, Oriental Weavers has come a long way from their early days. In fact, Oriental Weavers began making rugs one-at-a-time with just a single loom in Egypt in 1979.
Fast forward 40 years or so and now parent company Oriental Weavers Group is one of the largest manufacturers of carpets and area rugs in the world! With manufacturing and distribution centers on 5 continents, Oriental Weavers boasts a staggering 800,000 square meters of warehouse space and over 22,000 employees.
Oriental Weavers Group is also “vertically integrated”, which is business-speak meaning that they own the entirety of their supply chains. This gives them complete autonomy over their manufacturing processes and quality control. It also helps them keep manufacturing costs and wait times down.
Their domestic subsidiary, Oriental Weavers USA, has been a fixture in the legendary Dalton, GA textile industry since 1994. While many Oriental Weavers rugs are manufactured and imported from overseas, a number of their rug collections are proudly Made in America just up I-75 in Dalton!
Our 8 Best-Selling Oriental Weavers Rug Collections
Oriental Weavers is best known for their high quality machine made (also known as “power loomed”) rugs. While each collection below is unique, they all offer a great balance between quality and affordability. Or as Oriental Weavers likes to say, “Our rugs can be enjoyed for years, but are affordable enough to replace as often as you redecorate.” We don’t think we can put it any better than that.
While the collections below are indeed some of our favorites, it’s our customers who actually did the choosing. Let’s highlight 8 of the most popular, best-selling area rugs in our showroom in alphabetical order. Keep in mind that rugs from each of these collections are available in a range of shapes and sizes, from the smallest 2’ x 3’ entryway rug, to runners, to rounds, to the largest 10’ x 13’ area rug for your great room.
Oriental Weavers Aberdeen Rug Collection
The rugs of the Aberdeen rug collection are perfect for the distinguished rug shopper looking for something at least a little bit traditional. Oriental Weaver’s Aberdeen rugs emulate the rich heritage and the look of a true heirloom piece with their jewel tones, symmetry, clear borders, and fringe. Machine made from 100% low-profile polyester pile, these rugs are extremely popular with our customers.
Oriental Weavers Andorra Rug Collection
Another one of our best sellers, the Oriental Weavers Andorra rug collection offers rug shoppers a ton of diverse looks although its aesthetic is probably best described as transitional. Some Andorra rugs are artfully faded and monochrome, while others are practically bursting with boldly saturated jewel tones. However, by experimenting with colors or asymmetry and eliminating a few traditional features, these rugs are a stylish meeting of the old and the new. Each Andorra rug is made with a dense yet soft nylon/polypropylene blend.
PS – You know how we mentioned that Oriental Weavers produces many of their rugs in America? The Andorra collection is one of those made right here in North Georgia! If that’s a priority for you, you can feel great purchasing an American-made Andorra rug.
Oriental Weavers Caravan Rug Collection
If the previous two collections are good examples of traditional style and transitional style, Oriental Weavers’ Caravan rug collection is quintessentially contemporary. However, the Caravan rug is proof that contemporary doesn’t have to mean “loud”. These rugs feature patterns inspired by nature and colors to match with moss greens, soft blues, neutral grays and the occasional rust orange or gold. Also, the Oriental Weavers Caravan collection is made from 100% polyester pile.
Oriental Weavers Lilihan Rug Collection
The Lilihan rug collection offers shoppers beautiful traditional looks with a variety of patterns inspired by geometric tribal, Persian, and bohemian rugs. If you’re looking for those beautiful deep indigo blues and burgundy reds associated with traditional Persian rugs, this is the collection for you! These luxurious wool/nylon blend rugs are versatile and equally at home in boho chic and formal home settings.
Oriental Weavers Maharaja Rug Collection
Oriental Weavers’ Maharaja rug collection is the perfect blend of time-honored designs reimagined with a new color palette. Both elegant and understated, these rugs are made of 100% polyester pile and feature largely faded, monochromatic, or neutral hues. Expect lots of taupes, light browns and grays, and delicate, soft blues. As a result, Maharaja rugs are some of the most popular transitional rugs in our showroom.
Oriental Weavers Nebulous Rug Collection
As the name might suggest, the Nebulous rug collection is an experiment in visual textures and near-abstract design. From dark charcoals to soft ivories, the color palette of this contemporary rug collection is delightfully simple. However, the patterns themselves add all the complexity needed. Because of the simple palette, these rugs are super easy to coordinate with practically any contemporary or transitional room. As with many others on this list, Nebulous rugs are made with a dense and incredibly soft 100% polyester pile.
Oriental Weavers Raleigh Rug Collection
Mostly consisting of classic neutral colors with splashes of blush, teal or blue, it’s safe to file this collection safely in the transitional décor category. Are you a traveler at heart? If your personal sense of style involves patterns inspired from cultures across the globe or some sort of updated traditional feel, we think you’ll love the Oriental Weavers Raleigh rug collection. Made with 100% polypropylene (also known as olefin), Raleigh rugs are also some of the best bargains on this list.
Oriental Weavers Richmond Rug Collection
Two colors are very prominently featured within the Oriental Weavers Richmond rug collection – gray and dark, navy blue. If you love a transitional or contemporary aesthetic and favor these colors, you’ll absolutely love an Oriental Weavers Richmond rug. Lastly, like the Raleigh rug collection above, the Oriental Weavers Richmond rug collection is also 100% polypropylene or olefin, making Richmond rugs a bit more affordable than other rugs on this list made from polyester, nylon, or wool blends.
