WHO WE ARE
Meet the Owner
Saad grew up in a little village in the southern mountains of Lebanon. “I grew up with rug weavers during my college years in Lebanon,” he said. “I got attached to the Oriental and Persian rugs.” Saad immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 25 and arrived in Huntington in May 1969. He was an electrical engineer by trade.
“I got laid off and lost my job after 12 years and got another job, but after 16 years it closed down,” he said. “I thought to myself, I have a wife and four young children, I have to do something besides my job, so I went to New York and I started purchasing rugs so I could open my own business here.”
Saad opened his store in September 1988 in the old Coal Exchange Building and moved to this location
10 years later in 1998.
OUR STORY
Own a piece of history
“We have a large selection of the finest handmade Persian rugs,” he said. “No imitations.”
Saad says 2-by-3 feet and 6-by-9 feet 100% silk Persian rugs are the most popular today. Sizes as large as 13-by-25 feet rugs are available as well. Prices range from hundreds of dollars to thousands of dollars.
“I have one rug over here worth $50,000 to $60,000,” he said. “I have all the prime rugs available on the market. I have the top quality Persian silk around. I invite people to come and see.”
Saad some of the Persian silk rugs in his
collection are hundreds of years old.
“I have one Persian silk that is 150 years old,” he said.
“These are historical pieces.”
