GEM RUGS

Wool, silk, cotton — feel the difference in Harrisburg.

We stock rugs you actually want to touch. Oriental, contemporary, handmade. Stop by our shop and run your hand over the pile.

Built to last

What goes into a rug that holds up for decades

Pile density, knot count, and materials that look better the older they get. Here's what we look for when we buy.

80+

Knots per sq inch

Hand-knotted rugs we stock start at this density — tighter means longer life.

100%

Wool in handmade rugs

Natural fiber only. No acrylic blends in our hand-knotted pieces.

2+

Pile height in inches

Deep enough to feel, tight enough to hold shape under furniture.

100s

Rugs inspected by hand

We flip every rug in the shop and check the back before it hits the floor.

The weave, the weight, the color — a photo can't tell you everything. Stop by the Harrisburg shop or give us a call. We'll pull a corner back for you.
