A beautiful rug can change a room, and a good rug dealer can change the way you see rugs altogether. On High Street, Armadale, Abba Persian Rugs has been helping Melburnians find the right one for almost five decades. From its showroom at 1112 High Street, the business says it has been serving Victorians since 1978, and it describes itself as a direct importer of genuine Persian and oriental handmade rugs.

Almost fifty years on High Street
Abba Persian Rugs points to a proven track record in the rug business, and that longevity is worth something. A handmade rug is a significant purchase, and many buyers want to deal with people who will still be there years later to clean, repair or value it. A business that has traded on the same stretch of High Street since the late 1970s has seen trends in interiors come and go, and knows how a well-chosen rug can outlast them all.
An extensive handmade range
The showroom's range is broad. Abba lists genuine handmade Persian, oriental and contemporary carpets and rugs, along with runners and kilims. Within that, it names Persian tribal and Persian classical designs, mountain rugs, antiques, semi-antiques and contemporary rugs, in a variety of designs and patterns and in silk, wool and silk, and wool. The business says this comprehensive range is designed to make sure you find the perfect piece for your home or office, in all designs, sizes and colours.

Help choosing the right rug
The team is candid that choosing a rug can be a daunting process. Size, colour, pattern, pile and where the rug will sit all matter, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed in a showroom full of beautiful pieces. Abba says it will work with you to choose the right rug, one that creates a uniquely stylish interior, reflects your personal aesthetic and complements your existing decor. The business also emphasises affordability without compromising on quality, which will please anyone who assumed a handmade rug was out of reach.
Cleaning, repairs, restoration and valuations
Abba Persian Rugs is not only a place to buy. It describes itself as a specialist in valuation, restoration, repair and cleaning of Persian rugs. The business offers professional cleaning carried out by experts, with the aim of making rugs look as good as new, and expert repairs and restoration to bring a damaged rug back to its best. If you have a rug that has suffered over the years, the team will give you professional advice on the restoration options available.

With its many years in the rug business, Abba also provides expert valuations, which can be useful for insurance, for estates, or simply for peace of mind about a family heirloom. For anyone who has inherited a rug and wondered about its story, that is a service worth knowing about.
