A History Built on Personalized Services
For three generations, The Jafri family has been designing, weaving, and exporting fine, hand-knotted rugs and carpeting from Pakistan, India and Nepal to Western Europe, The United States and, to other parts of the world as well to serve their expatriate, well-traveled customers.
From its humble birth in 1989 a small showroom in the center of Dover, Massachusetts, founder Mahmud Jafri quickly established a reputation for pleasing some of the most demanding customers in the country – his Dover neighbors, who, it has been said, wouldn’t think twice about showing up for a weekend hunt in jodhpurs, chaps and diamonds. They wanted what Dover Rug & Home provides each and every customer: responsive, truly individualized, services like attentive in-home design assistance and shopping to one-stop repair and maintenance programs for every piece sold.
