Where it all began.Our family has specialized in oriental rugs for many generations. It has been a proud tradition and an art that has been passed on within the family. Several works of art created by our family using rug weaving techniques are on display in museums around the world.
In 1975 our family immigrated to the United States from Armenia, and a year after we started our own business, Antique Oriental Rugs Center, in Los Angeles, CA – where we focused on rug cleaning and repairs. We have done countless repairs and cleaning for a wide range of clients, including rug dealers, private customers, and antique collectors around the world. In 1996, we moved to Las Vegas, Nevada and continues our professional services caring for our clients’ oriental rug needs. Our reputation for excellence brings clients to us from far and wide. Today, we serve clients’ from the Las Vegas area, Arizona, Utah, California, and beyond. We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and have many years of experience and knowledge about quality and value of antique oriental rugs. |
One for the History |
We left Armenia for the free world when it was still under Russian rule. As new emigrants, we embraced freedom and democracy in our newly adopted homeland. As a token of appreciation and a welcome gift, my parents hand wove a rug with President Ford’s portrait (Right). We sent it to the White House as a gift to President Ford. It was a proud moment for my family and I to be acknowledged by President Ford. The rug became a part of the permanent collection at the Gerald Ford Library and Museum in Grand Rapids, MI

One for the Books |
We For many years AORC provided repair and restoration services for Mr. Jim Burns, a well known criminal attorney, in Seattle Washington, who is an avid antique rug collector. He was so grateful and satisfied with our services that when he published his book (Right) about antique oriental rugs in 1987, he recognized us in his book and gave us credit for our many years of service to him. He talked about our expert knowledge and how he restored his damaged antique rugs he had purchased at Sotheby’s and other auctions.
