Our Story & Heritage

What began as a small family workshop has grown into a name recognised internationally for the care and restoration of Persian, Oriental and antique rugs.

Each generation has passed down knowledge, tools and techniques, many of which are unique to Behar Profex, ensuring every rug, whether family heirloom or collector’s piece, is treated with precision and respect.

This heritage of craftsmanship has been passed directly from great-grandfather to great-grandson, representing over 125 years of continuous learning, innovation and refinement.
