Adib's Family and Rugs

Few connections with the panorama of human history are so accessible in the 20th century as the oriental rugs, whose designs and techniques date back to 500 B.C. Very early in its development, the craft and art of hand-knotted rugs became centered in the Persian Empire, and to this day it is still the Persian rug which remains the epitome of beauty, value, and durability.
At Adib's (both in Walnut Creek, CA, and Salt Lake City, Utah), this nearly 2,500-year old tradition flowers amid a huge selection of old and new Persian rugs and other woven delights from all around the world. Since 1974, Ray and Hamid Adib have satisfied thousands of customers with their company's wide selection of rugs, ranging from scatter sized rugs and prayer rugs to palace-sized rugs. Adib's rugs come from cities and villages across the length and breath of Iran, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Turkey, and India. Each is a highly refined work of art, whether it comes from a sophisticated rug factory, a village loom, or a nomadic encampment.
Ray and Hamid Adib were both taught about Persian rugs by their late father, a noted rug manufacturer from Natanz, near Kashan. The elder Adib supplied wools, silks, and cotton for rugs he would commission while also buying rugs from known weavers in towns and villages within a large area around Kashan and Isphahan. In their youth, Ray and Hamid followed their father's lead, becoming an expert in Persian rugs and, later, making their own rug-buying trips through these towns and villages.
With two generations of experience and the knowledge of their capable staff - excellent weavers and restorers in their own right - Adib's is uniquely able to offer customers a storehouse of information about fine rugs, carpets and runners, and a wealth of advice for the investment in and care of the hand-knotted carpets. Adib's is truly the place to discover the breathtaking beauty and lasting quality to be found in the woven world.
