Our Story
Founded in New York City in 1985 by London-born brothers David and Malcolm Samad, our family-owned business is rooted in four generations of rug-making expertise. Inspired by the legacy of their father, Eric Samad, the brothers emigrated to the U.S. with a shared vision: to create the world’s finest handmade rugs. From humble beginnings, they traveled across the country sharing their deep rug knowledge and pushing the boundaries of design. Today, SAMAD is a leading producer and importer of hand-knotted rugs, renowned for exceptional quality, artisanal craftsmanship, and enduring style. A new generation—David and Malcolm’s daughters—Jennifer, Nicole and Melanie—has since joined the business, carrying forward their passion for heritage. With strong global partnerships and a dedicated team, the Samads continue to blend tradition and innovation in every rug they create.
