The carpets produced in Persia during the 19th century are remarkable and highly coveted by museums and collectors. Evidence supports Oriental rugs as the forerunner to Western art. Artists revered today understand the value of Persian rugs. Exhibiting the design and construction seeped in tradition, which is made for lasting durability and a display of Persian tradition.

I had a great experience with Moe at Medallion Rugs. I was looking for a vintage 8x10 rug, which is hard to find - most antique rugs are much larger. I visited probably a dozen shops and looked at too many rugs to count and was feeling discouraged. Everything I liked was too big or too expensive.
I live in Oakland, but I found Medallion online. I inquired about the prices of a couple of rugs and Moe called me the same day. He offered to bring a selection of rugs to my home that same week, which was wonderful. I sent him a photo of my living room and a few examples of rugs I liked.

If I could give negative stars I would, I have three Persian Rugs that were hero loomed from my grandmother, to these guys to wash, my rugs came back destroyed.....one dug was stained yellow, the other rugs tassels were ripped off as if a dog went at it, and the third one although the damage was not severe, the tassels on the rug came back stiff and hard. Super rude employees, when I came back to complain about my rugs, they said “we never have problem with white people, only Persians, the ya re sneaky” (said in Farsi). DO NOT GO HERE

I needed a rug for my baby's nursery but nothing too extravagant since it was for a baby's room. Medallion rug gallery's consultant Hamid went above and beyond to find me the perfect rug. Gave me the best deal and the rug was absolutely beautiful. Though I had to return it since the size didn't really work out, the return was just as easy and friendly unlike some other stores. I definitely recommend this place for any kind of small or big rug shopping. Overall it was a great experience dealing with such patient and amazing people.

Moe Saeidi is the most helpful and patient man and very knowledgeable about his products. We have purchased several beautiful rugs from him. When they deliver to your home, they move all your furniture and put the pad and rug down just right and then put everything back. They are great when something doesn't work, also. They just want the customer to be happy and love their rugs and the service. I am a lifelong fan.

Many years ago Medallion offered to find us a large oriental rug for a difficult room, brought a selection to our home in Oakland to audition, and they did bring a beautiful Tabriz we loved. The price they quoted was insanely high, and we questioned it. They cut the price almost in half. That raised the first red flag but we bought it. They offered a free rug cleaning, but when we called back to request that service they refused. Second flag. Somehow we also let them take a Sarouk rug we weren't using back to their store to try to sell on commission. Years later we contacted them to get it

With many commercial transactions, It's the followup that makes the difference. Our initial experience working with Moe was very pleasant, but that's true with many transactions--until they get your money. But we recently had to have a minor repair done to rugs we bought nearly five years ago, and Moe took care of it promptly and very pleasantly at no charge.

I sent an email to the company and they responded which is why I have updated my rating to 2 stars. The email responder told me the business was having phone problems that's why they couldn't hear me. While that sounds reasonable, If that was true, why could I hear talking and laughing on their side? Why didn't I hear anyone on their side say hello? Something funny is going on and I don't care to find out what it is.

I purchased 3 8x10 rugs from Medallion last year and started using them 6 months ago. They shed alot in the beginning which I assumed was not unusual but they continue to shed quite a bit so I called Medallion twice to ask for help. Both times they looked me up in their system, acknowledged me as a customer and said they would call back but they never do. The second time the guy acknowledged it was him on the first call and promised he would call in 2 hours. Nothing. I am very disappointed with their service and obviously something is not right with the rugs even though they are beautiful.

This is for some Architectural Digest homes. The rugs here are crazy. They have every size, shape and color. I love their silk collection but the best part is, they clean rugs the old fashioned way and they'll even come pick up and drop off. If you have rugs you care about, this is the ONLY place to go.

Be careful!
My girlfriend works as nanny for the children of some well-to-do folks in the Palo Alto area. The parents were looking at different rugs by Medallion and the company dropped off some at the house for viewing. When the parents decided not to use those specific rugs, they had the company pick them up. However, when the Medallion employees got to the house, only my girlfriend the children were home (parents were out of state). The 4 male employees, 2 Indian and 2 Mexicans arrived and were told by my girlfriend to leave after moving the rugs out, but they continued to enter the house
