Rugs are one of Round Top's strongest categories. Specialist rug dealers bring thousands of hand-knotted and hand-woven rugs from Turkey, Morocco, Iran, and the Caucasus.

Oriental Rug Galaxy and other dedicated rug vendors are worth seeking out — their inventory and pricing are significantly better than retail.

Shopping Tips for Rugs & Textiles

Know your room sizes

Bring exact room measurements. A rug that's too small for a space looks worse than no rug at all.

Check for moth damage

Hold rugs up to the light. Small holes from moths are common in vintage rugs — minor damage is fixable, major damage isn't.

Roll it out on the ground

Ask vendors to unroll rugs fully so you can see the whole pattern and check for stains or wear patterns.

Hand-knotted vs machine-made

Flip the rug over. If you can see the pattern clearly on the back, it's hand-knotted (more valuable). Machine-made backs look uniform.
