We're not just another faceless online retailer! Preston Rugs are part of Carpet and Furniture Supplies, a leading northwest retailer of quality carpet and vinyl floor coverings as well as quality sofas, chairs, dining, cabinet furniture and of course rugs! Mr Tapsell opened our store over 50 years ago with an aim to supply the highest quality products with a service second to no one.
Today, over 50 years on, our store is run by Mr Tapsell's son and grandson. We still follow the same aim to offer the best quality, best value products on the market with an after sales service that will not be beaten! In 1961 Mr Tapsell decided that due to starting a family and the advent of the fitted carpet (before most carpets were really just large rugs) it was time to open a shop and not only sell carpets but offer professional fitting too.

Services
Preston Rugs stock and import a wide range of genuine hand-knotted carpets, rugs and hall runners from middle eastern counties. In regular stock we have Aqcha, Khan Mohammadi & Ziegler rugs from Afghanistan; Mori Bokhara & Kazak rugs for Pakistan; Kazak and Agra patterns from India and Persian Hamadan, Shiraz and Kazak carpets from Iran.
Named after the town they originate, these carpets come from the town of Aqcha in northern Afghanistan. The area has a long traditional of rug making predominantly in Bukhara, Turkman and Fil Pah (elephant's foot) designs. In recent years, some of these rugs have been made by nomadic Afghans from the Aqcha region in Pakistan and Iran.
Pakistan Mori Bokhara rugs have a super soft wool pile with a geometric pattern. Mori rugs are made by highly skilled, time served Pakistani weavers with high quality wool. The Pakistani Bokhara designs have proved to be very popular due their elegance and attractive simplicity, as well as the super soft and luxurious feel of the dense and lustrous shining wool pile.
Bidjar or Bijar rugs come from the Kurdish town of Bijar-e Garrus in north-western Iran. The town of is one of the highest towns in Iran with an elevation almost 600 metres higher than the peak of Ben Nevis. Our Bidjar carpets can be viewed at our Preston store and are available to purchase in store or online with up to 12 months interest free credit.
The city of Hamadan is situated 300 kilometres west of Teheran. It is one of the oldest cities in the world and is referenced in the Bible as 'Ekbatana' in the book of Esther. The city is the centre of trading for the carpets manufactured in the over 300 nearby villages, all with the own unique design.

Brilliant experience at Preston Rugs. They were polite and really friendly. We first purchased a rug that was lovely however we were going off pictures so when we got home it didn't match our decor (totally our fault) so we rang them back and they had no problem with us taking it straight back, getting a refund and getting a different rug. We even managed to get some fabric at a really reasonable price, to upcycle some chairs. Car parking was easy, with plenty of spots available, the showroom was immaculate and had a wide range of products available. I would definitely recommend Preston Rugs to
