Joseph Bezdjian

“ My wife and I were looking for a rug of a somewhat unusual size. Our regular dealer in Milwaukee did not have anything. Rather than travel to NYC I emailed a few dealers highly rated in a blog on NYC oriental rug dealers. Hagop earned his rating and more. Within a few days he had sent us photos of several rugs of the appropriate size, all antique. The one we chose was most fairly priced. It is a 90 year old Heriz in a classic pattern and a real gem. Hagop allowed us to see it in the room in our home before we had to decide. If we had declined the rug we would have shipped it back to him. We loved the rug so the deal was concluded. ”

Anna Miller

“ I have bought 4 antique Caucasian rugs from Hagop Manoyan. My interest in these rugs started initially just by seeing them in books. Then I looked into the very few carpets shops in Norway without finding what I was looking for. So I started by buying a few cheaper carpets at e-bay and from there I moved on to a dealer in Istanbul. Then I found Hagop through his advertisements on the internet, and I stayed with him as a dealer. Hagop is very kind, polite and always helpful. I can even ask him questions about other carpets I find on the internet. He is always ready to share his expertise and give me good advice. When I at one occasion needed to change a rug I had bought from him half a year earlier, there was no trouble at all. Living on the outskirts of the world as far as antique Caucasian carpets is concerned I cannot praise Hagop’s help and expertise high enough. I simply rely on him. Beautiful carpets from a totally trustworthy dealer. I give him my highest recommendation. ”
