Welcome to Araby Rug Galleries, offering Maine's premier selection of handwoven antique and modern oriental carpets and kilims. Each of our carefully selected carpets and kilims meets our exacting standards for quality, beauty, and durability. We choose rugs that showcase the very best qualities of the weaver's art. Fine natural wools, entrancing colors, integrity of design and true quality are our touchstones.
Whether woven years ago or by the master weavers of today, each Araby rug is hand selected to celebrate and sustain a timeless form and way of life. Handwoven, handspun and naturally dyed wool carpets are free of chemicals and made from renewable botanical substances like madder, cochineal, chamomile, walnut shells and pomegranate. Handspinning helps retain the natural lanolin in sheep's wool, increasing stain resistance without the use of noxious substances.
An Araby Rug Galleries carpet is sustainably and ethically made, naturally stain resistant, a lifetime investment and a stunning work of art.

I marvel at its beauty, in your generosity, creativity, imagination, expense, and labor that brought it here at the artistry of its weavers.
I've spent some time in "reading" the designs and symbols written into the rug.
The rug and the story behind it are unique, and I should think would have been renowned in the USA if not internationally.
Our home is filled with beautiful rugs from Araby; each one a unique painting that tells a story of its own.

Have you ever wondered how your oriental rug or carpet used to look before dust, pollen, pets or family took their toll?

Proper handwashing also ensures that your rug maintains its innate lanolin and luster for optimum stain resistance and brilliance.
At Araby Rug Galleries, our handwashing technique is specifically tailored to the rug you bring us.
We take into account your oriental carpet's age, structural integrity, wool and dyes before beginning the cleaning process.
