About Ariana Rugs

History

The foundations for Ariana Rugs were laid in 1990 in Los Angeles, when the two brothers Alex and Ahmad Ahmadi began to manufacture and trade unique carpets. The continuous development from a classic afghan good to today’s distinctive style builds the base for the successful story of Ariana Rugs. The knowledge and experience of longstanding tradition and the results of steady development are visible in each of our unique items.

 

The fascination and passion for the rug craft was put in the cradle of the two Ahmadi brothers. Since 1920 their family owned a rug business, were they learned how to knot, repair, wash and trade rugs.

 

Since 1990, the Ahmadis are trading rugs under the name Ariana Rugs from Los Angeles, California, initially with antique carpets and kilims. In the mid-90s Ariana Rugs started its own production.
