A. Mahfuz, of Mahfuz & Son's Rug Gallery Inc., is not just a seller of rugs;
he is well acquainted with the methods of manufacture, construction,
value, and the culture surrounding fine oriental carpets.
Eldest in a family
spanning three generations still active in this field, Alec is a certified
appraiser and a member of the Oriental Rug Retailers of America.
He has been in this business for almost 40 years. He has lectured
for both colleges and historical societies. His present store in Amherst,
NH was opened in 1984 and he has recently expanded his store by 35%
to accommodate the variety of products that are offered.
My father was a master
weaver himself, which is where I learned to weave, as an understudy
of him. He also taught me the varied techniques in cleaning carpets
which have made us second to none in this area. — Alec Mahfuz
