My large, 100 year old Persian Rug (a coveted Serapi, about 9.5' X 13.5'), was in need of a LOT of loving care and repair...it had been used by my family for its entire life - daily! It was faded, thread bare and even damaged in some places. Adem and Birgul came so highly recommended that I called them first....and last. What they recommended made sense to me, and it was affordable. The Solaks picked it up, and a month later returned it....looking as it must have looked when my grandparents bought it at the turn of the last century!!! Fortunately my sister was visiting, and we both wept a bit when Adem rolled it out: it was exquisite. It looks absolutely beautiful, the colors vibrant and true, the fringe and damage repaired to perfection - I can't find where the damage was! The Solaks are highly regarded in this business community, and have earned their reputations as professionals and experts in their field. I can not recommend Shirvan Rug Gallery more highly. (BTW: I have several friends who have bought new rugs from the Solaks, and they too are delighted with them.) Dena Leavitt
