Our story
From the looms of Pakistan to a workshop in Denver.
Kamal Ibrahim opened Ibraheems as a retail rug store in Pakistan in 1973, working directly with local weavers and commissioning rugs for export. Trips to France, Germany and Switzerland followed, with a warehouse in Zurich, and by 1979 he was running a wholesale business in Manhattan that supplied showrooms in Toronto and Montreal.
In 1982 a trip to Denver turned into a home. He opened the Ibraheems showroom at 3rd and Josephine in Cherry Creek, grew it to two stories over 15 years, and in 1999 bought the family’s own building on Broadway, where the showroom grew to more than 4,000 square feet. Today the showroom is on Acoma Street in Denver. He was his own importer and exporter: every rug was commissioned directly and made for him by weavers he knew, with no one in between.
His sons joined the family business in the early 2000s. They learned how rugs are designed, dyed, knotted and finished, and traveled to the weaving regions of Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Egypt and Morocco to understand each region’s technique and weave firsthand.
In 2012 the family acquired Oriental Rug & Carpet Clinic to bring rug care under the same roof. What started as a 700 square foot workshop is now a 6,000 square foot facility that handles washing, repair, restoration, rug pads and storage, with convenient drop-off locations around town.

Why choose us
Experience you can trust with a rug you love.
Everything we do for your rug comes from knowing how it was made.
Five decades with handmade rugs
Our father has commissioned, imported and sold handmade rugs since 1973. His sons grew up around them and have spent more than 25 years caring for them. That history is behind every decision we make about your rug.
We know how rugs are made, how fibers age, how dyes behave, and how improper cleaning or repair can permanently reduce value. That knowledge protects both the beauty and the integrity of your rug, especially fine, antique, handmade or delicate pieces.
Every rug treated as one of one
Every rug we service is handled individually: never batch cleaned, never rushed, and never treated as a generic rug. Each one is inspected for fiber type, weave, dye stability, prior damage, wear patterns and contamination before any work begins.
This lets us choose the safest and most effective plan for your specific rug, whether that is gentle hand washing, targeted stain treatment or odor neutralization, while preserving its original character, color and value.
Craftsmanship backed by science
Our Rug Clinic Care process blends time-honored techniques, practiced by weavers for generations, with modern, science-based methods developed through advanced technical training.
Traditional hand washing is the foundation. It is paired with fiber-safe detergents, controlled moisture management, dye stabilization and targeted treatments based on fiber chemistry and the condition of your rug.
Our standard
Trusted by homeowners, designers, museums and insurers.
We travel to the weaving countries regularly and keep working relationships with weavers and rug experts around the world, so our methods stay true to how each rug was made.
Homeowners, interior designers, museums, insurance companies and restoration firms rely on our work. We are insured, and through Ibraheems Rugs & Furnishings we sell handmade rugs as well as care for them.
