EXPERT TALKS ON RUGS AND THEIR LEGACy

Arash and Maryam, co-owners of the company, are passionate experts in the world of antique Oriental rugs. Their deep-rooted knowledge spans generations, allowing them to identify a rug’s origin, design, and weaving techniques with just a glance. This remarkable insight, paired with years of hands-on experience, has earned them a respected place in the field of Oriental rugs.

Dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich heritage of these timeless works of art, Arash and Maryam regularly deliver engaging, illustrated talks on the history and significance of Oriental rugs. Arash has spoken at prestigious institutions including the Rug Society, the Third Age Trust, and the British Museum. He has also presented to customers at Brights of Nettlebed in Wimborne and Topsham, as well as at The Edenbridge Galleries.

They are both committed to spreading awareness and appreciation of Oriental rugs and welcome invitations to give lectures or participate in events focused on art, history, and cultural heritage

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Client Testimonials & Success Stories with Our Premium Rugs

We have a beautiful Afghan

We have a beautiful Afghan, silk rug that after 30+ years was showing wear across the end fringing. From my first engagement with the Pars Rug Gallery team I could not have been happier. I received an accurate assessment, professional clean and excellent repair – at, what I regard to be, a very fair price. I was kept appraised throughout of the progress of the work. My much loved rug now looks fantastic – thank you to the Pars Rug Gallery team.

From start to finish it was very easy

From start to finish it was very easy to work with the company. I have a large 12ftx 9ft rug that needed a very deep clean and moth treatment. It was recommended to also have some mending done which I hadn’t thought of and WOW! What an amazing repair job!!!! Incredible!!!! I am 110% satisfied with the service and price and look forward to enjoying my rug for many years!

Emily Cooper

Excellent restoration

From first contacting Pars Rug Gallery to seeing photos of the work in progress and then the final result, it has been a wonderful experience. When Arash came to see our family’s old Persian rug, it was in a sorry state with badly worn patches and edges missing. He was able to tell us all about it and explain in detail the work that could be done to restore it. After 5 months, the work has been completed and I am delighted with the result. The rug is beautiful with the true workmanship and colours now revealed.
