What Our Clients Say

“Mostafa has broad and deep knowledge, and is very interesting to chat with. He is very generous about letting customers take rugs home — and he has come to know what I like.”— Martha P., Collector
“The proprietor is such a gentle soul who lovingly explains the history of each piece, the city or village where it is made, and how it is woven. The gallery is a step back in time. They simply take your breath away.”— Jean C., Collector
“His engagement spans all levels — broad topics of the industry, specific artistic traditions, and nuanced design strategies. There are no high-pressure sales tactics whatsoever.”— Amy B., Interior Designer
“Mostafa is as fine a gentleman and businessman as I have ever dealt with. He delivered the rug personally and checked up to see if I were satisfied. I definitely was.”— Debbie G., Client
