Why We Exist

About Texas Rug Gallery

We exist to put genuinely handcrafted rugs into the hands of the professionals who shape spaces. We source directly from the weavers who make them, removing the middlemen — and with them, the markups and the guesswork on price.

Known Origin Honest Pricing Heirloom Quality

We not only sell our rugs — we stand behind them.

The Craft

How a Rug Is Made

From raw fiber to finished floor piece — the journey every TRG rug travels.

Spinning and preparing the wool fiber01

Fiber & Dye

Wool, silk and cotton are sorted, spun, and dyed by hand using time-tested natural recipes.

Artisan hand-knotting at the loom02

Weaving

Artisans knot, loom or tuft each rug on the frame — weeks to months of patient, skilled work.

Washing and finishing the rug03

Finishing

The pile is sheared, washed and stretched to bring out depth, sheen and a perfectly even surface.

Clipping and inspecting the finished rug04

Inspection

Every piece is checked against our standards before it’s cleared for delivery anywhere in the US.

The Founder

The Eye Behind the Collection

A women-owned business built on a simple belief: a rug is the foundation of a room, not an afterthought.

  • Chosen by hand. Every piece picked with a designer’s eye for how a rug actually lives in a space.
  • Scale that anchors. Proportions judged for how they hold a whole room together.
  • Palette that holds. Colour selected to stand up against changing light.
  • Texture that wears. Built to take real, everyday use without losing its character.

We don’t carry everything — we carry what we’d put in a space ourselves. Equal parts craft knowledge and design instinct. That’s what the trade comes to us for.

Textile Fluency

We Know How They’re Made

Knowing rugs means knowing construction — the details that decide how a piece performs and how long it lasts.

01 Knot & Pile

We can talk knot density and pile height — the details that quietly decide a rug’s quality.

02 Built to Endure

Why a hand-knotted wool will outlast a tufted piece in a hotel lobby, every time.

03 The Right Weave

When a flatweave is the smarter call for a high-traffic space — and when it isn’t.

04 Fiber & Feel

How fiber and weave change the way a rug reads in a room — underfoot and in the light.

That fluency is why designers, retailers, and hospitality buyers treat us as a partner in the spec — not just a place to place an order.

Responsibility

Sustainability

Craft that respects the people who make it and the planet it comes from.

Natural Fibers

Wool, cotton and silk — renewable, biodegradable materials chosen over synthetics wherever possible.

Fair Artisanship

Long-standing relationships with weaving communities, built on fair pay and lasting partnership.

Built to Last

Rugs made to be handed down, not thrown away — the most sustainable choice of all.
