Persian and Oriental Rugs
Maha Jano, Maha Jano Interiors
Hand knotted Oriental rugs are elegant, luxurious, and work well with any style. But how can you be sure of what you’re getting when you are looking to buy a high-end, fine quality, handmade Oriental rug? After all, the very fact that the best rugs are handmade, hand knotted and often one-of-a-kind makes assessing the true value a confusing proposition—unless you go to the source. And if you’re looking for the oriental rug source, Birmingham Design Studio is the place.
We are direct merchants and have personally chosen every oriental rug we have offered for more than 25 years. Why does this matter? Because as a direct importer with two certified Oriental rug appraisers in-house, we know everything about your selection, and that means you get the complete story—the origin of the rug; who made the rug; an accurate evaluation of the design, color and technique—you get an assurance of excellent craftsmanship and the satisfaction of knowing you found a superb rug without having to travel out of state, or even out of the country! In fact many collectors and other merchants come to our Michigan design studio for help in finding exactly the right quality oriental rug for their home or client. We offer a wide variety of Oriental rugs, from traditional designs such as Kashan, Tabriz, Sarouk and Heriz, to many new transitional and modern designs. Our selection of rugs from around the world, which includes Turkish, Persian, Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Moroccan and Tibetan Rugs, represents the finest collection of beautiful rugs for sophisticated and discerning taste at virtually every price point.
Our Michigan Oriental rug showroom offers the most complete services such as, insurance appraisals and expert cleaning and repair of hand–woven Oriental rugs. Additionally, we have the ability to ship in Oriental rugs from outside of the state for our clients to assess and try out in their home before purchase. Birmingham Design Studio is the only Oriental rug store in Michigan with an in-house interior design team.

LOOKING FOR SOMETHING REALLY SPECIAL?
Sometimes the only place the perfect rug exists is in your imagination. You can see the colors. The pattern. The way it will complement your room. But can you get it? Absolutely. We can take your vision and bring it to life in a custom-made rug. Here’s just one example: When Art-Harrison Interior Design was creating a room for The Detroit Symphony Orchestra Designer Show House, they came to us with swatches of color and fabric, and a sketch. They asked us to create a rug that would be a highlight of the room. And so it came to be. In less than five months, Art-Harrison had the rug it wanted–a 10′ x 16′ hand-knotted Tibetan that was just as it had hoped, a spectacular addition to the room. So ask us how we can create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece for you.

A MESSAGE FROM KAMRAN KARIMPOUR..

Kristi and Kamran Karimpour
For as long as I can recall, Persian rugs have been part of the fabric of my life. As my appreciation of this woven art form grew, so did my desire to share my knowledge with others. I invite you to take advantage of my expertise to ensure that your rugs are appraised at the proper insured value. My wife, Kristi, and I are both Certified Oriental Rug appraisers registered with the Oriental Rug Retailers of America. We would be glad to meet with you, either at our gallery or at your home.
