It all started at the age of fourteen, where he began working repairing rugs. His uncle, also a rug merchant, taught him the basics of the rug trade. At age twenty, Sarkis moved to London and began restoring rugs for a dealer who worked for well-known auction houses. Four Years later, realizing a lifelong dream, Sarkis decided to roll the dice and come to the United States.
In 1986, he opened an Oriental rug store in Dallas, TX. It has been proudly serving University Park and DFW households to this day.

An oriental rug is a very careful and delicate process.
It begins by identifying the origin of the rug, the nature of the fiber and the dyes used in the rug.
This dictates the type of cleaning process necessary for any given rug.
Pet stains/odors require additional detail and use of an enzyme to remove odors.
We bring dust and soil inside the house and onto the rug.
Eventually dust and grit settles between the piles and create a hard surface.
Wool fiber is composed of lanolin oil.
The accumulated dust absorbs the oil from the fiber, the pile starts breaking apart and it begins to shorten the life of the rug.
