The rug started life as a sleeping mat.
It was created to provide humans with warmth, protection, rest,
a shroud for the dead, a bundle in which to carry tools.
For those who wandered for years,
following their flocks and herds,
the rug was a singular comfort:
a better bed than the cold ground
or the rough hides of animals.

About Us

Mike Joseph, Owner
Some Indianapolis Oriental rug collectors search the globe for pristine examples of ancient craftsmanship. Some fall in love with fine Antique rugs when they inherit their grandmother's Oriental. And some shop for the best of what's new in handmade carpets, hoping to create a worthwhile collection of rugs for their own grandchildren.

In Indianapolis, all Oriental rug collectors have something in common: Joseph's Oriental Rug Imports.

Joseph's has been a collector and respected authority on fine handmade Oriental rugs for more than fifty-seven years. They continue to earn the respect of Indiana's Oriental rug collectors because, like them, Joseph's collects and cares for Oriental Rugs as a labor of love.

Here, you'll find a magnificent accumulation of antique and semi-antique rugs from Persia, China, India, Tibet, Russia, Pakistan, and Turkey. Founder Mark Joseph is a leading expert and appraiser of antique Oriental rugs from around the world.

Now son Mike Joseph curates a new generation of fine rugs at Joseph's. He has broadened the family collection to include the latest, high design exclusives in modern area rugs: Lamontage felts, Tufenkian Tibetan Carpets, Asmara needlepoints and Aubussons.
