​Tom is the owner and founder of Restoration Rugs, bringing over 45 years of hands-on experience in the premium rug industry.

​

As a fourth-generation rug expert, his knowledge wasn’t learned from books, it was passed down through a long-standing family tradition and honed through decades of direct, hands-on work. ​From his early days working with his father in Iran to opening the boutique in Santa Monica in 2018, Tom has remained dedicated to honoring the art of handmade rugs.

 

He takes a personal approach to each of his customer's needs, serving with great results with pride. Clients value not only his unmatched expertise, but also his flexible, transparent approach and personal involvement in every project. He honors each rug with love and care, and even offers various payment options to ensure affordability.

​

For Tom, restoring rugs isn’t just a business, it’s a way of preserving beauty, culture, and craftsmanship for future generations.
