GOLDEN RUGS PATRIARCH PASSES TORCH TO SON


Micheal Mikaeli

San Diego - Houchang "Michael" Mikaeli, who founded the Golden Rugs Gallery in 1992, is retiring after 47 years in the rug business. But southern California customers of this long-time gallery need not worry - Michael's son, Jason, is taking over the business, continuing a legacy that extends over three generations. Father and son have worked side by side over the years, offering a comprehensive assortment of fine rugs in multiple weaves and styles.

As the family patriarch, Mikaeli has devoted much of his life to the rug industry; along the way he has educated his son and daughters about the business. Besides dealing in rugs, the Mikaeli family has expertise in cleaning and repairing, appraising rugs and educating clients about a rug's pedigree and origin.

"It's important that clients understand the levels of workmanship as well as how rugs differ from one region of the world to another in both quality and design," Mikaeli said. "We feel it is essential to inform our clients about various rugs when they make their purchase, because the more informed the client, the easier it will be to find the right rug for their needs."

Golden Rugs Gallery is known for its extensive variety of quality area rugs, covering a range of design aspects including contemporary and decorative.

Jason Mikaeli will take over the business at a new location - 7190 Miramar Road, suite 101-105, just down the road from the previous location, which saw its lease expire.
