Sia, My rugs look amazing! Thank you so very much for the wonderful job of cleaning them and fixing the hole I had in one of them. I will only come to you for your quality work and kindness! If anybody needs to get their rugs cleaned, Sia is your guy!

I contacted Winter Park Rug Gallery because of their great reputation and they certainly did not disappoint. Sia was very generous in educating me with regards to a couple of rugs that I inherited from my great uncle and am truly grateful for his expertise and breadth of knowledge. He will most definitely be my point of contact with regards to any upkeep of my rugs and any future purchases we decide on.

I had a very good experience with Winter Park Rug Gallery.
I placed my Persian rugs on consignment .
Despite the fact that I only got back in touch with Sia a couple of years later, he was quick to respond. He remembered the items and immediately send me payment for the sale of my rugs. In fact he was trying to get ahold of me to ensure that I received payment.
I truly appreciate SIA’s honesty and efficiency.
And thank you for selling my rugs!! :)

I had such a wonderful experience working with Sia at Winter Park gallery and getting the Dali lithograph of my dreams during one of the auctions. Sia is very kind and a great communicator. It’s clear he knows what he’s doing and takes his job very seriously. I will definitely be shopping here again! Thank you!

Please get to Winterpark Rug Gallery immediately! I stopped by this afternoon to get an appraisal on a rug that’s been in my family since the early 1980s and met the Shop’s owner, Sia. I cannot adequately express to you the level of kindness, empathy, humanity, and most certainly, expert knowledge he displayed in his examination of my family’s massive rug, and the conversation we enjoyed as a result.
As such things can take time, we had an opportunity to chat and get to know each other a bit and Sia is fascinating. He’s been exclusively in the fine rug business for more than forty years. His shop is like a an exclusive museum and his knowledge and expertise about rugs is simply amazing, not to mention interesting. He has so many unique and truly one of a kind items in his store. I genuinely learned so much today and he has an authenticity of spirit that permeated our entire interaction.
I asked him to show me his favorite pierces and I was not disappointed. He has one massive all silk rug that is from the 1860s, and another extremely rare and stunning Persian rug worth in excess of $85k! Not to worry though, he also has authenicated and beautiful pieces starting at a modest $300. One thing particular to his entire store is that you won’t find a single rug that isn’t hand-knotted! I consider myself a rug snob now after learning so much today. For example, I learned that my family’s 10X12 rug likely took over two years to create! Every single knot of my rug, and every single rug in his store, is tied by actual human hands, one knot at a time and that should certainly make us all more greatly appreciate the art that truly is a fine rug.
Sia honed his expertise in Boston and NYC earlier in his long career where he lectured for a time about the very things he generously taught me today. I suppose that makes him a scholarly rug nerd and that’s exactly what you need when purchasing a piece of “floor art.” I highly and enthusiastically recommend starting here if you are in the market for a truly unique rug made from natural silk or wool and meticulously tied by human hands! You will enjoy meeting Sia and exploring his museum-like store.
(Attaching one photo just for fun, plus a second one of my future rug, so don’t buy my gorgeous grey one. I’m going back for it!)

Winter Park Rug Gallery expertly repaired and restored my badly damaged antique Heriz rug. Sia, the owner, has a great knowledge of antique Persian rugs. He completed the restoration himself in a very timely manner and was friendly and helpful. I will definitely be a regular customer. I highly recommend his rug gallery.

Just got of the phone with Sam, i tell you he set me at ease right away, very forthcoming and willing to help, something that i thought would be cumbersome was just disipated. I had visited Winter park rug gallery for cleaning of rugs, this time i reached out for their expertise in dating a period piece i was uncertain of. Thank you very much Sam you are a gentleman, and certainly provide the personal human touch to your business, that is so lost today. ?

I had an extremely pleasant experience at Winter Park Rug Gallery. Mr. Farshi is so knowledgable and passionate about his craft. He helped my husband and I choose the perfect rug. We were under no pressure at all during this experience. He personally delivered this rug to my home, moved all of my furniture himself, and did not require payment until I knew I loved the rug in my space. He has been so helpful and made this process an ease. I recommend him to everyone!

My wife and I was very fortunate to find Sia during covid after moving to Orlando area the summer of 2020. Due to the travels of my 30 year USMC military experience, we were very experienced with purchasing high quality rugs. After visiting numerous rug businesses, we knew we'd found the right one because of Sia's very down to earth and accommodating personality and great prices. We purchased two huge rugs initially in 2020 and returned a few days ago to purchase three more. Sia is swesome to work with and has the best prices in this area.
