This event is for rug owners, rug enthusiasts, interior designers, lovers of luxury, and anyone else who would benefit from an expanded knowledge of rugs.

This event will act as a stepping stone for attendees to move from more a basic knowledge of rugs to a greater understanding of the industry and nuances of rug ownership. Attendees will be taught to identify the different types of rugs, their materials, designs, and how to properly care for them to maintain their value.
After the event, they will be able to differentiate between a machine-made rug and a handmade rug, as well as between a genuine silk rug and an artificial silk rug. Guests will also learn the ins and outs of protecting these assets, whether with written appraisals of their rugs’ value, rug portfolios, or estate planning.
Mr. Tavakolian will discuss common rug scams so that attendees do not become the victims of fraudulent sales, and how to safely purchase a rug while traveling abroad. “It’s such a pleasure to bring the community together and host an event for people who appreciate this art form,” says company founder Ben Tavakolian.

In addition to the opportunity to learn in a casual, fun environment, guests are encouraged to bring their own cherished rugs to the showroom for professional appraisal by Behnam’s certified Rug Master. This event will be attended by Behnam’s friends from radio station WRR 101.1, including Barry Samsula, who you may know from the ‘Breakfast with Barry” weekday broadcast.
