Nahigian Brothers Rug Care

About

Sarkis Nahigian opened his first Chicago Oriental Rug store in 1890. From the beginning, this included Oriental rug cleaning and Persian Rug cleaning. By the 1920s, Nahigian Brothers had opened a 5-story galleria, with each floor featuring rugs from a different country. This was the largest and most fashionable oriental rug store in the United States. Here, on Wabash Avenue they became the heart of high-society’s center of opulence. This family business also cleaned and maintained oriental rugs, Persian rugs, as well as non-oriental rugs, for households and businesses throughout the city. Then Nahigian Brothers moved to Michigan Avenue, and eventually opened Nahigian Brothers Galleries at Marshall Field’sTM.
