Brookline Oriental Rug
About
Brookline Oriental Rug is a family rug business in Needham that sells rugs and provides professional rug cleaning. Its goal is to offer high-quality rugs at the best possible value, and its cleaning combines traditional and innovative methods with attention to the impact on the environment. The name is the question staff hear most often, since the company has been based entirely in Needham since the 1970s, but the business began in Brookline.
Family members opened the first store on Beacon Street in Brookline in 1915, selling rugs on the first floor and washing them on the lower level. Needing more space in the 1930s, the business acquired the former Saxony Knitting Mill in Needham and ran both locations until 1972. In 1973 all operations were consolidated at the Needham mill building, which remains its home.
