About
First Rugs is dedicated to honoring the artistry of hand-knotted rugs. In a mass-produced world, we celebrate the richness, individuality, and timeless quality of handmade textiles. With 25+ years in the Greater Boston Area, our expertise stems from co-owner Cynthia’s background in antiques and design, alongside Ali Khaledi, a fourth-generation Persian rug dealer from Shiraz, Iran.
We are the authority on antique rugs, offering a rare, curated collection while embracing the beauty of custom and contemporary pieces. As a woman-owned, artful boutique, we blend professionalism with bold, creative energy – treating rugs as art for the floor.
Our high-touch, client-focused approach ensures personalized service, quick sourcing, and deep industry knowledge. Working with us means access to a passionate team that values both tradition and innovation, making First Rugs the trusted choice for designers and collectors alike.
