Life has changed quite a bit in the 21st Century. In the last part of the 20th Century, we've seen innovations like CDs, DVDs, cell phones, iPhones, the Internet and satellite television. Today, all these technologies have become a part of our lives. Yet, some things never change. Oriental rugs, for instance. Fashions change. Trends come and go. But somehow, quality, Oriental rugs remain a timeless classic. Professional decorators will tell you that the rug is, quite literally, the starting point for interior design, and the very foundation of any well-appointed room.
In 1997, Ark La Tex Oriental Rug Gallery was established in Shreveport LA. We are a family owned and operated business, we choose Shreveport mainly because the city had a great need for an Oriental Rug Dealer. Our goal is to provide outstanding selection of Hand Woven Oriental Rugs and service to our customers in a true full service rug center. Our main Goal is to make our clients feel like they are at home when shopping with us. We are very knowledgeable about the products we sell and give our customers the right details about how the rugs are woven, what country they originated from, and the different types of workmanship available.
If you've never bought an Oriental rug before, you may be a little confused and overwhelmed by the dizzying number of factors that determine the price - and value -of a rug. At first glance, you might assume, for instance, that rugs are sold like many other things - where the overall size of the piece determines the price, or perhaps that there's a "Good/Better/Best" set of features that you can use to determine the kind of rug you can afford. But rugs are.different. As with anything that is hand-crafted, much more goes into the making of a rug than meets the eye.
