Catalina Rug

From its beginnings in Iran, Catalina Rug has been in the rug business for three generations. The US store was launched in 1999 in a small front store in Redondo Beach, a beach city in Southern California. It is operated by the owners Jeff Shadkam and Rose Shadkam. Jeff Shadkam is the 3rd generation in his family to be in the rug business and has over 35 years of experience. Rose has over 17 years of experience and loves helping customers with choosing the perfect rug for their home. Always striving to improve our customers' experience, we were one of the first rug stores to go online.

With their elaborate patterns, amazing weaving techniques and outstanding craftsmanship, Persian rugs have firmly cemented their top position as the most coveted rugs around the world. There's no denying that Persian rugs are the most exquisite type of floor coverings. Some pieces are so extraordinary that they are even used to adorn walls. Basically all Persian rugs come under three main categories depending on where they are woven, with each category having its own distinct traits. At the one end you have the rustic, rugged rugs woven by tribal weavers and at the other end are the sleeker, satiny, town-woven rugs.
