Since 1980, The Magic Carpet has taken great pleasure in providing the community with a unique collection of antique, semi-antique and new Oriental rugs, with a special emphasis on one-of-a-kind tribal rugs. Come in and explore the fascinating world of Oriental rugs and feast your eyes on treasures from the East: Turkey, Russia(Caucasus), Persia(Iran), Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Tibet, Nepal and China.

The Magic Carpet has, during the last 30 years, gathered together an unparalleled collection of semi-antique and antique hand embroidered textiles from the Indian states of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh.

We have also had the great fortune to be able to acquire a large and unique collection of museum quality antique Indian, Nepali and Tibetan statues.

We invite you to peruse our current inventory as well as enhance your appreciation for this ancient art form by studying and better understanding the rich tradition behind it.

The Magic Carpet has also been committed to providing all of the necessary services needed to maintain the timeless beauty of your Oriental rug: Washing, restoration, trading, appraising, home consultation, home trials and educational lectures.

Paul and Eileen Jorgensen
look forward to exploring this fascinating world with you.
