Offering a tour of the sprawling two-story showroom where rugs are displayed in stacks and rolls, Benjamin Soleimani, a third-generation partner of the Melrose flagship, said there is “nowhere you’ll find as much selection.”

Acknowledging that it can be difficult for non-interior designers to shop for rugs, Soleimani said it helps to give yourself some parameters. “The size and style is very important,” he said, along with your budget. He also encourages customers to take rug samples home and live with them for a period. “The lighting in your home will change the rug’s color,” he said. “And your home is going to be different from our showroom.”

Although Mansour specializes in antique rugs from Persia, Turkey, India and Nepal, there are also rugs from Sweden and Morocco and reproductions of antiques. Rugs are tagged with dimensions, content and background, and a QR code is included for further details. Mansour Modern, located upstairs, offers more contemporary designs, including graphic collaborations with noted designers Kerry Joyce, Jeff Andrews and Victoria Kagan.

Despite the hefty price tags that come with its handmade rugs, Soleimani said it’s possible to walk out with a carpet in stock for $2,500. Mansour also offers rug pads and cleaning services.
