“Honesty and integrity is our only policy,” said owner David Shahab, who established the company in 1980 as a supplier for a local antique gallery and auction house. After nearly four decades of success, David decided to move his showroom to a much larger space, where he expanded not only his Rug business but also his Real Estate business. He purchased the well-known shopping center located on Fondren near the Houston Galleria, named the David Oriental Rugs Center. Since, David Oriental Rugs has become the highest-rated rug company in the city, boasting multiple Gold Star Awards and a Certificate of Excellence Award for the last 24 consecutive years from the Better Business Bureau, as well as stellar reviews from satisfied, returning customers. 

After many years of working solo, David ultimately decided to expand his team with the addition of his youngest nephew, Mahan Azar. He has now stepped in and taken a huge role in carrying on the responsibilities of this well-established Houston business. Together they hope to continue their success and further expand their business in the wholesale, retail, import/export, and real estate industries.
