Experience the Oscar Isberian Concept of Personal Service

It all began in 1920 with eight rugs and a wheeled cart. That's when Oscar Isberian, a young man from Wilmette, Illinois, co-founded Oscar Isberian Rugs with his brother Megerditch. The brothers traveled the world, discovering towns and villages where rug weaving is a way of life and carpets are a family's most prized possessions. The brothers brought back the best of what they found to sell in a shop that grew into Chicagoland's premier Oriental Rug retailer.

Today the specialists at Oscar Isberian Rugs carry on the tradition of exceptional personal service, making us the preferred source for Oriental Rugs and Area Rugs among discerning homeowners, corporate executives and interior designers. We are pleased to bring a sampling of our unparalleled selection of exquisite Oriental Rugs and Area Rugs into your home today.

The original Oscar Isberian Rugs store at 1028 Chicago Avenue, Evanston, IL, was built in 1928 and today is home to one of the company's three showrooms.
