About Near & Far Persian Rugs

Near & Far Persian Rugs is an oriental rug dealer located in The Market at the Western Fair in the Old East Village of London. Serving residents of London and southwest Ontario, the business provides a variety of handmade rugs for use in modern or traditional homes and offices. The shop offers a diverse selection of new and antique Persian rugs, including tribal and village designs. Customers can find area rugs and room-sized carpets in various sizes, ranging from 2'x3' up to 9'x12'. The inventory features handmade wool rugs in vibrant reds and blues, as well as black, grey, and terracotta tones. In addition to Persian styles, the store carries antique Caucasian rugs and carpets from other major rug-producing regions. The business distinguishes itself by offering genuine, hand-knotted rugs rather than tufted or glued alternatives. The owners emphasize the durability and craftsmanship of these pieces, noting that high-quality rugs are designed to last for decades in high-traffic areas. They also highlight the health benefits of their products, stating that hand-knotted rugs do not use glues that off-gas toxins. Visitors can view the collection by appointment during the week, with specific hours available on Saturdays and Sundays. The store encourages customers to bring color samples or home decor items to the showroom to test how different rug patterns and colors coordinate with their existing spaces.
