The Flying Carpet began in 1972 in the back room of "The Cabin Antiques" in Florence. "The Cabin," had been selling antique furniture and oriental rugs since the 1920's. We no longer sell antique furniture, but we do sell Antique oriental rugs (defined as being woven before World War I), as well as new rugs and everything in between.

A point of pride for us is that we sell good rugs at REAL prices. We don't overprice our inventory, just to offer a big discount as a sales gimmick. Our everyday prices are usually less than the discounted prices you'll find elsewhere, even in online rug sales sites! When we discount a rug to half-price, we are literally losing money on the sale. Sometimes, though rarely, we will have extra-special pricing on selected rugs.

Our Huntsville showroom is open Monday through Friday from 9:30am to 5:00pm, and by appointment on Saturdays (Please call). We have a professional ASID Decorator, Julie Gargis, on hand to assist with your decorating questions on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please click on the "Maps" link to see a map to direct you to us. Our Huntsville showroom is located at 741 Dan Tibbs Rd, just North of Madison Square Mall and West off of Research Park Blvd. Please call 256-417-6059 for more information.
