What Apple & Oak is known for

Apple & Oak sells vintage rugs and homewares in East Nashville, with its shop now inside Open Invite on Riverside Drive. The range extends from Turkish rugs to cards and smaller household gifts, so the store works for both room-sized purchases and something portable. Consult the current rug selection before visiting, since vintage pieces are individually listed rather than a uniform collection.

Apple & Oak is a Nashville rug shop centred on one-of-a-kind vintage textiles rather than standardised new collections. Its own catalogue describes Turkish rugs as hand-knotted, made from natural fibres and sourced directly from Turkey. A listed example, Doris, is dated to the 1940s-50s, illustrating the shop's preference for pieces whose age, dimensions and construction are recorded individually. That specificity makes the catalogue useful for comparing scale and weave across distinctive pieces. The shop operates from Riverside Drive inside Open Invite and gives local customers a short in-home trial option on in-store rugs. It also offers rug rentals by arrangement, a practical service for interiors, events or temporary installations. Apple & Oak's current rescue-rugs collaboration with Wags & Walks Nashville connects selected vintage-rug sales with dog adoption: the shop states that 30 percent of those rug sales goes to the rescue organisation. The result is a focused Nashville business for vintage Turkish rugs, with direct-sourcing claims, item-level construction notes and services built around trying or renting individual pieces.
