Incredible service! Sam and team brought 10 rugs to our home on short notice. They staged the room moving furniture, and worked so hard to help us make the best possible decision for project.

We took our silk rug to Alyshan Fine Rugs in Scottsdale for professional cleaning and were met with incredible kindness and expertise. Samear not only ensured our rug was well cared for but also provided fascinating insights into its craftsmanship and how it was made and able to explain some of the emblems sewn on it. His honesty was refreshing—He estimated its true value realistically, confirming that we purchased a high quality rug overseas. Highly recommend Alyshan Fine Rugs for their integrity, knowledge, and top-tier service!

A contemporary rug is a hand-knotted rug with a present-day design — abstract patterns, organic shapes, bold color fields, asymmetric compositions, painterly motifs. Where a Persian rug references designs perfected over centuries, a contemporary rug is current. The artist or designer drew it for today’s home, today’s color palette, today’s architecture.
What contemporary rugs share with Persian rugs is the construction. A fine contemporary rug is woven the same way a fine Persian rug is woven: knot by knot, by hand, on a vertical loom, using wool, silk, or a blend. The only difference is the design language. Hand-knotted construction matters because it determines whether your rug lasts 80 years or starts shedding in eight months.
In the rug world, the two terms are used almost interchangeably — but there is a real distinction worth understanding:
Most clients shop both categories at the same time, which is why we group them together. The right rug for your home might be a clean-lined modern piece or a softer contemporary one — and the best way to know is to see both on your floor.
Our hand-knotted contemporary and modern inventory includes:
We source from master weavers in India, Pakistan, Turkey, Iran, and Afghanistan — the same weaving traditions that produce the world’s finest Persian and traditional rugs. The materials and craftsmanship are identical; only the designs are different.
Contemporary rugs are a natural fit for the architecture of greater Phoenix. Three reasons:
This is the section we wish every client read before buying a contemporary rug. The contemporary rug market is overwhelmingly dominated by hand-tufted products — yarn punched through a fabric backing with a tufting gun, then sealed in place with latex adhesive. These are sold at big-box retailers, online discount sites, and many local stores as “handmade.”
They are not handmade in any meaningful sense. They are factory products with toxic glue holding them together. In Arizona’s dry heat, the latex breaks down within a few years. The rug starts shedding. The glue releases volatile compounds — you can smell them on warm afternoons. The rug cannot be cleaned because the backing is glued, not woven. It cannot be repaired. It ends up in a landfill.
A hand-knotted contemporary rug, by contrast, is constructed exactly like a Persian rug: each knot tied by hand around a foundation thread, no adhesive of any kind, the entire piece a single woven textile. It can be cleaned, repaired, restored, and passed down. It will outlast the design trend that inspired it.
Every contemporary and modern rug at Alyshaan is hand-knotted or handwoven. Every one carries our lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship.
Our contemporary and modern inventory ranges from 2×3 feet to palace-size 20×35 masterpieces, with deep coverage of all standard sizes (3×5, 4×6, 5×8, 6×9, 8×10, 9×12, 10×14, 12×15) plus runners, rounds, and oversized squares.
Pricing ranges from approximately $200 to $200,000. Wool contemporary rugs in standard sizes typically run from $1,500 to $15,000. Silk and high-silk-content contemporary rugs run higher — silk is one of the most labor-intensive materials in fine rug weaving, and a 9×12 pure-silk rug can take a master weaver more than a year to complete. As direct importers, we offer the most competitive pricing on hand-knotted contemporary rugs in Arizona — and we never have sales.
Three generations of fine rug expertise
Our grandfather founded this business in 1969 as a manufacturer and exporter of fine rugs after a decorated military career. We have been in the United States since 1979 and in Scottsdale since 2001. We have watched the contemporary rug market grow from a small specialty into the largest segment of luxury rug sales — and we have the relationships with master weavers to source the best of it.
The largest in-stock contemporary collection in Arizona
When other rug stores claim “the largest selection,” they typically mean rugs they can order. We mean rugs you can walk on today. Our Scottsdale Design Center showroom holds the largest in-stock collection of hand-knotted contemporary and modern rugs in the state. Every piece is hand-picked. We never buy in bulk.
Free, no-obligation in-home showing
Contemporary rugs are particularly hard to choose from a screen or a showroom floor — color, scale, and texture all read differently in your actual space. Our background-checked staff will bring selected pieces to your home, lay them out, and leave them with you to live with as long as you need. No cost. No obligation. Furniture moving included.
Lifetime guarantee & written appraisal
Every contemporary rug we sell carries our lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship, plus a written appraisal for insurance and estate purposes — at no additional charge.
Free delivery, premium pad, complete installation
Every purchase includes free delivery anywhere in the Phoenix metro area, a fine DuraHold pad cut to size by our showroom staff, and complete installation including moving furniture.

A contemporary rug is a hand-knotted area rug with a present-day design—abstract patterns, bold color fields, asymmetric compositions, or art-inspired motifs that have no direct connection to traditional weaving patterns. The construction, however, is the same as a Persian rug—knotted by hand on a loom using fine wool, silk, or both.
The terms are used almost interchangeably in the rug industry, but there is a subtle distinction. “Modern” often refers to designs rooted in 20th-century modernist art and architecture—Bauhaus, mid-century, geometric minimalism. “Contemporary” refers to current, of-the-moment design—which today includes abstract painterly motifs, organic shapes, and tonal layering. We use the terms together because the categories overlap heavily and most clients shop both at once.
The contemporary rugs at Alyshaan are all hand-knotted or handwoven from fine wool, silk, or a wool-silk blend. Most contemporary rugs sold elsewhere are not—they are hand-tufted with toxic latex backing that breaks down in Arizona’s dry climate. We do not sell hand-tufted rugs. Every rug we sell carries our lifetime guarantee on materials and workmanship.
Contemporary and modern hand-knotted rugs at Alyshaan range from approximately $200 for small accent pieces to $200,000 for oversized silk masterpieces. Most room-size contemporary rugs in our inventory fall between $1,800 and $20,000. Silk rugs and silk-blend pieces command the upper end because of the material cost and the labor required for fine-knot silk weaving.
Yes. Construction matters more than design when it comes to longevity. A hand-knotted contemporary rug woven from quality wool will last 60 to 100 years, just like a hand-knotted Persian rug. The design will date faster than the rug itself wears out—which is why we recommend hand-knotted construction even for clients who want a thoroughly modern look.
It depends on the rug. A bold, brightly colored modern rug typically does not work in a traditional home. But a quiet, tonal contemporary rug in soft neutrals can work in any setting—the same way a single piece of modern art can hang in an otherwise traditional space and elevate it. Our team has decades of experience helping clients pair contemporary rugs with traditional, transitional, and Southwestern interiors.
Wool is the workhorse—durable, naturally stain-resistant, and warm underfoot. Silk delivers the luminous sheen and color saturation that defines high-end contemporary design, but it is more delicate and best suited to lower-traffic areas like bedrooms and formal living rooms. Wool-silk blends combine the best of both: silk highlights provide sheen and depth, while a wool foundation provides durability. We carry all three at Alyshaan.
Explore our curated selection of rugs, each telling its own story of craftsmanship and heritage. From traditional designs to contemporary masterpieces, our collections are designed to captivate and inspire.

Renowned for intricate craftsmanship, elegant floral motifs, ornate central medallions, and fine borders. Persian rugs offer timeless luxury and exquisite detail. Best for formal living areas, dining rooms, and classic interiors seeking an air of sophistication and heritage.

Defined by fluid abstract designs, geometric gridlines, textured weaves, and modern art influences, these rugs treat your floor like a canvas. Best for sleek, modern, minimalist, or modern-industrial interiors needing a fresh, artistic focal point.

Bridging the gap between classic and modern, transitional rugs blend timeless, traditional patterns with softened, contemporary, or distressed color palettes. Best for versatile styling. Perfect for homes that mix modern furniture with traditional accents.

Inspired by rich, ancestral weaving traditions, tribal rugs feature bold geometric patterns, vibrant symbolic motifs, and earthy color palettes. Best for adding warmth, character, and cultural depth to rustic, bohemian, or eclectic spaces.
