I bought my first rug from Penny at Paradise Oriental Rugs over 20 years ago. Last week, I purchased 2 more and now I have 7! I keep going back to Penny because of the high quality, the beautiful designs and most importantly, I trust her! Her knowledge of rugs is remarkable and enthusiasm contagious. The rugs are so beautiful, I call them "floor art". Highly recommended.

I am simply delighted with my 4th rug I just purchased from Penny. This is not my first purchase from her and I had no hesitation buying it from a picture and quick chat with her. The quality of her curated selection of rugs is like nowhere else. In fact, I am always complimented on the other rugs I purchased maybe 10 years ago. For example, a friend who had moved to Dubai and was visiting literally immediately laid down on my rug when he saw it and starting stoking it saying how in the world did I find such a quality rug? He turned it over and was stunned by the knots per square inch...Thanks

We met Penny at her home where she has a vast collection of exquisite rugs. My wife and I had seen a few on her website we liked so we made an appointment. The selection was substantial and she quickly learned our taste. She realized we were especially fond of the Bajair rugs from Iran. Her knowing our partiality made the appointment move quick and easy because she knew which rugs to show us. We were very appreciative of her insight.
We ended up purchasing the two large rugs that we’d been looking for. By now, Penny knew our liking well enough that we purchased a runner for our hallway and a

I am currently overseas and was looking at several Oriental rugs to purchase. I was completely lost on what to look for and where to start until I found Penny's blog. Penny is the wonderful owner of Paradise Oriental Rugs. I reached out to her and she was more than happy to walk my through the process of what to look for and to provide me with background information about some of the rugs I was looking at based off some pictures I sent her.
While I have not been fortunate enough to go to her store, she had a wealth of knowledge and was incredibly helpful in helping me figure out what exactly I

I am a carpet enthusiast ever since I traveled Asia so long ago admiring and learning about handmade rugs, how the wool is spun, what kind of dyes are used, and how many knots per square inch.
There is nothing like the feeling of a hand made carpet.
For over a decade I have been a frequent visitor and patron at Paradise Oriental Rugs.
Penny has the most varied and high quality carpets I have ever come across. She also has the best selection of sizes. Every once in a while I discover another area in my home for another carpet to adorn. I love my collection carpets that I have purchased there

Paradise Oriental Rugs was recommended by a friend and to my delight, I am now the owner of three beautiful Persian rugs! This shop has an excellent selection of quality merchandise with sincere customer service. The owner Penny, is passionate about Oriental rugs and has an excellent "eye" but more importantly, she assists you in finding the exact rug for your tastes, ensuring your rug buying experience is informative and very enjoyable! Highly recommended!

This is my first review... I feel inspired to write something because of the way I was treated.
I do not know Penny, And I still haven't met her. I simply messaged her store randomly, along with several other local rug dealers, attempting to sell a few rugs I inherited. Unfortunately, my items were not a good fit for her inventory but she went above and beyond by giving me a personal call, providing me with expert advice and educating me on my items. In addition, she blew me away by sharing valuable insights on how selling or consigning the rugs should be handled and what to expect trying
