About Gohari Oriental Rugs Service
Specialized care for oriental rugs—cleaning, repair, storage, and protection
With a family history in the carpet industry dating back over 70 years, Davoud brings a wealth of quality and diverse experience to Ottawa. Davoud’s father owned a successful carpet store in Tabriz, Iran, specializing in carpet restoration and repair. Davoud began working in the family business at the age of 10 and quickly learned the trade. By the time he was 18, he was teaching new employees how to repair and restore carpets. Since the time in his father’s shop, Davoud has continued to work in the business all over the Middle East, gaining even greater experience and expertise with a variety of carpet styles, materials, and manufacturing techniques. In 2003, following in his father’s footsteps, he opened his own carpet restoration business in Turkey, which he successfully operated until 2009, when he decided to start a new life in Canada.
Capitalizing on the depth of experience acquired by Davoud in his 37 years of experience in the business, Gohari Oriental Rugs specializes in the conservation, restoration, and repair of antique rugs. His passion for what he does ensures that he takes the greatest care in every job that he undertakes. By taking the time to study each carpet, Davoud makes sure that he matches the materials he uses in repairs with the original materials and styles of the carpet. If your carpet is originally from Turkey, he will repair it with Turkish materials to ensure that the original beauty and splendor of the carpet is maintained.
