Sam & Arlene Presnell
Sam and Arlene Presnell started The Rug Gallery together in 1972 and since then have provided Cincinnati and the design community with premium rugs, carpet and flooring.
While Arlene’s profound impact lives on, their son Beau Presnell, continues to grow The Rug Gallery by honoring his parent’s legacy through community activism and bolstering local businesses in Cincinnati.
