Our Story:

Steelman Rugs is a husband and wife team based in Half Moon Bay California. Myself (Brent) and my better half (Katryn) do everything here. Every rug you see is selected, inspected, and hefted, by the two of us! Of course curating our collection and meeting clients is the fun part, but most of the business is just hard heavy work. Hefting aside, we feel so fortunate to work with creative clients and talented designers from all over the world! Thanks to them our rugs have furnished urban apartments, historic estates, professional offices, suburban homes, rural homes, farmhouses, second homes, cabins, and everything in between!

A little background: We are both artistic in nature. Katryn is a talented artist and painter, and I handcrafted high end custom bicycles for over 30 years.

The rug bug bit us some 22 years ago. In 2002 we opened a space in the San Francisco Antique & Design Mall. We bought and sold antique furniture and oriental rugs. Eventually we decided to focus our our business solely on rugs.

Katryn and I work together to curate the collection and share the tasks of handling the merchandise. Katryn does the photography and I do customer service, sales, and website.

If you are on the hunt for just the right rug, or need some rug advice, we are here to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out.

Go full circle with your rug buying experience and send us photos of your rug in its new home! Here is our gallery of some of the photos clients have sent us. Seeing our rugs in their new homes means the world to us.
