Landry & Arcari

What Landry & Arcari does

Landry & Arcari is a family-owned oriental rug and carpet retailer founded in 1938 and headquartered in Massachusetts, operating three physical showrooms in Boston, Framingham, and Salem alongside a Shopify-based e-commerce storefront. The company sells a curated assortment of handwoven, vintage, antique, and contemporary rugs sourced from Persian, Turkish, Indian, Moroccan, Chinese, and tribal traditions, plus a broad range of area carpets in wool, sisal, nylon, and silk fibers; individual rug prices span from approximately $360 to over $42,000, with most inventory concentrated in the $1,000–$10,000 band. Its product surface is differentiated by named designer collaborations (Global Chic by Vani Sayeed, Diana James Collection, Designer Reserve) and by value-added services including certified rug appraisal (Oriental Rugs Retailers of America), professional cleaning and restoration, custom rug creation, rug rental, wholesale distribution, and a Trade Partnership Program for interior designers.

The business generates revenue predominantly through one-time retail and wholesale rug/carpet sales, supplemented by recurring rug rentals and professional services (cleaning, repair, appraisal). Distribution combines regional retail (three MA showrooms serving New England) with global e-commerce (nationwide and international shipping, free shipping on handmade rugs). Marketing and customer acquisition run through the e-commerce site, email, social (Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest), in-showroom consultation, the dedicated Trade Partnership Program for designers, and recurring tax-free promotional events (10–70% off). The firm claims GoodWeave ethical sourcing certification and runs the 5 Under 40 Awards with Barakat contributions supporting girls' education in Central and South Asia, providing ESG positioning alongside its longevity-based brand.

The company is privately held under family ownership with no external funding, M&A, or institutional investment disclosed, and no public revenue figures. Operational signals — over 20,000 served customers and over 100,000 rugs sold cumulatively, the self-claimed largest inventory in New England, and 85+ years of continuous operation — point to a stable, regionally entrenched specialty retailer rather than a venture-scale growth vehicle.
