A Family Run Business for over 20 Years

In keeping with the company's history and in honour of their Byward Market store, Canadian Rug Traders is a e-shop where one is encouraged to browse, ask questions, seek advice and enjoy a pleasant visit. An ever-changing 'floor show' of handwoven rugs is displayed in a comfortable gallery atmosphere, with products personally selected by Angus and Maria from Iran, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan where ancient skills produce rugs of heirloom quality and remarkable beauty. Amazing affordability comes from keeping our suppliers unchanged for 40 years dealing directly with the rug producers who supply the cottage industry weavers with patterns and dyed wools. These suppliers also source our rustic pieces dealing with the nomadic tribes of Iran or the fiercely independent Belouchis.
