Let me start by saying Mostafa is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, honest and a delight to work with. He provided a wealth of information about Persian rugs that my grand mother brought back from Iran in the early 70s. My sister and I called several dealers in the city looking to get an appraisal. Not one took the time to ask questions about the rug. The estimates for the appraisal were on average 3 times the amount Mostafa charged . Mostafa went above and beyond providing detailed information about the rug we had appraised. He is amazing! I highly recommend doing business with him!

I brought in a 60+ year old rug for a cleaning. It was given to me by my uncle who had purchased it when he taught in Lebanon years ago. The service was perfect. The rug was carefully handled and nicely cleaned. I also learned more about where the rug likely was made, of what it was made and given tips to future care. I also purchased a much needed custom sized mat to put under it as well.

I brought in my MILs Karastan rug for cleaning and the change was incredible. There were pet stains that they were able to remove and they did an amazing job. The colors look deeper and it will look beautiful in our home. I loved looking at his rugs - they are works of art. I highly recommend Mostafa - his knowledge of these rugs is deep.

We enjoyed working with Mostafa. His knowledge of our rug (a small Persian rug that had been tucked away after many years) and the dramatic difference his service provided with cleaning and repairs helped reignite our appreciation for its craftsmanship and beauty. Mostafa reminded us that it is an item that, with commonsense care, is meant to be cherished and used. It now has been given pride of place in our home. Thank you, Mostafa!

Mostafa was a pleasure to work with! Brought in a large area rug to be cleaned and it was returned timely and looks fantastic. Would highly recommend Barrington Fine Rug Galley if you are looking to have your rug cleaned or to purchase a new piece!

Our experience with Mostafa was top notch! He was very professional and knowledgeable. We brought in a large persian rug to be cleaned and repaired. I couldn’t be happier with the results. The rug is so bright and colorful. It looks new!

We recently inherited some beautiful rugs that are heirlooms from when my family lived in the middle east. When searching for a service to have the rugs professionally cleaned we found Barrington Fine Rug Gallery. We contacted Mostafa, and made an appointment to have one of our rugs cleaned. We also ended up having it prepared as a wall hanging, and appraised for insurance purposes. The gallery is a beautiful space with countless treasures and Mostafa is warm and welcoming. He is obviously knowledgeable and passionate and we knew that our rug was in good hands. The prices were fair and the end result exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with him more in the future!

I contacted Mostafa after reading the excellent Google reviews. My mom and dad had bought a very large Karastan rug nearly 60 years ago and it had fallen into disrepair. Mostafa counseled me concerning the repairs and what I could expect. The results exceeded my expectations and saved my family heirloom. The price originally quoted was exactly what I paid. I couldn’t have invested what a new Karastan would have cost as that amount would have been three to four times more than the cost of the repairs.I also must say that Mostafa is as fine of a gentlemen and businessman as I have ever dealt with. He delivered the rug personally and checked up with me to see if I were satisfied. I definitely was!!

I had a need to clean a rug purchased in North Africa twenty years ago. Mostafa negotiated a fair price, and suggested padding, also at a fair price.The promised date was accurate, I picked up both items. As requested, rug was cleaned (both sides) and a couple loose tassles were re-tied. Colors pop out! Wont lay out until day before Thanksgiving.

I have a beautiful handmade wall rug from India that needed repair. Mostafa was extremely professional and had the rug repaired in a few days. As I replace some older wall to wall rugs, I will seek his knowledge and design to purchase area rugs in my home. His inventory is unique and exquisite......I recommend everyone to stop in and check out his gallery.

I had an excellent experience working with Mustafa. He was of tremendous help explaining the nuances of hand made rugs. Mustafa demonstrates a profound knowledge of his craft. He loves what he does and this is reflected in the time that he takes with his customers. We had him repair and clean one of our family heirlooms. The rug came back looking like new. The overall experience was exceptional.

We recently had several rugs cleaned and were very pleased with the quality and service. The cleaning is very reasonable and they took great care in ensuring our rugs were properly cared for. The gallery has an exceptional selection of rugs, and the owner is a delight to talk with. We will no doubt look here first the next time we are looking to purchase a new rug for our home. A great local shop!

I reached this lovely gallery from out of town, after a Google search. The service at Barrington felt effortlessly courteous as my needs and interests were met with professional assessment and care.Experiencing the physical atmosphere of the shop was a delight, fostering an instant appreciation for its fine rugs. There was also a warm personality from Mr. Beik, who easily blended comprehensive expertise with approachable pedigogy. His engagement spans all levels, including broad topics of the industry, specific artistic traditions, and nuanced design strategies that promote personal expression and customize the process.Throughout the experience, this studio was promptly responsive and accommodated my travel schedule during follow-up contact. I also valued the technology that was integrated with their business practice. The website is well-designed for remote interaction, offering clear images and consistent maintenance. Documentation, billing and communications were efficient with paper and electronic methods in use.Barrington Fine Rug Gallery is an excellent example of a business that provides complete satisfaction, no matter what the customer expects.

The Barrington Fine Rug Gallery has recently moved to the Ice House in Barrington. They have a great selection of antique and older rugs that are well displayed. Mostafa is a knowledgeable dealer and enjoys working with customers who appreciate fine rugs.

I would like to comment on the beautiful Fine Rug Gallery of Barrington. I purchased a most exquisite dining room carpet from the Gallery. It is a Persian Kerman circa 1940’s. The cream and blue colors create such a serene, warm feeling. In addition, I purchased a bedroom carpet similar in colors and design. I am so pleased! The Gallery itself is magnificent. It is a step back into time and MUST be visited. The proprietor of the Gallery is such a gentle soul who lovingly explains the history of each piece, the city or village where it is made and how it is woven. When you come upon the Gallery in the Ice House, you see the windows and the interior where the rugs are displayed. They simply take your breath away.Jean CapellosBarrington, IL.

This place has an amazing collection of rugs and tapestries from the world over. Many are true antiques and treasures, and all are stunning works of art-there is something here for every decorating style and taste you can think of.The shopping experience itself is a pleasure as the owner, Mostafa, wants to be certain you are not only satisfied, but overjoyed with your purchase. There are no high-pressure sales tactics and he will take all the time you need to be sure you have found just the right piece that will bring you pleasure for years to come.Mostafa also supports many local charities as well as special fund raising efforts like his current one to help rebuild the treasured Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. This place is a rare gem and a wonderful place full of magnificent finds-you will not be disappointed when you shop here!

Our experience at Barrington Fine Rug gallery was wonderful from start to finish. Originally we went into the shop looking for a good place to have some of our Persian rugs cleaned. Mostafa, the owner, was extremely knowledgeable and was happy to come to our home ( at no charge ) to look at our rugs and give us an estimate for the cleaning. True to his word he came out, quoted us a price, and sent the rugs out for cleaning. We were very happy with how well the rugs turned out. We had recently moved and the beautiful rugs had been stuck in storage and desperately needed cleaning. After having such a positive experience with our rug cleaning, we also decided to purchase a rug for our new sunroom. Again Mostafa went above and beyond with customer service. After measuring our room and getting a feel for what we were looking for; Mostafa came to our house not once, but several times with different rugs for us to try out in our home. The one rug, we finally settled on, was in our home for about a week before we made a purchase. All of this was done for us at no additional charge and with a very friendly, courteous, and professional manner. We have definitely found a new place to care for our fine rugs and in the future will be interested in purchasing a custom runner for our stairs. Definitely call for an appointment and talk to Mostafa if you want a beautiful rug for your home that is like a piece of art and a shop owner that treats his customers like family.

It has been a pleasure doing business with Mustafa Beik, owner of Barrington Fine Rug Gallery. I had numerous Persian rugs from an estate that I wanted to get appraised for insurance purposes. Mustafa provided an excellent write up of each rug with all the pertinent details. Along with that he shared some of his enthusiasm and his wealth of knowledge about rugs. Besides providing services related to appraisals and cleaning of rugs, he has an extensive collection of beautiful rugs. They are indeed works of art. I will certainly go back to him for any and all of my rug needs.

I visited the the Barrington Fine Rug Gallery and learned it has an incredible collection of fine rugs. The collection contains a variety of styles from all over the world. The collection was amassed by owner/operator Mostafa Beik and several generations of family members preceding Mostafa. The collection contains many pieces that are well over 100 years old. Mostafa provides a knowledge and expertise of not just fine rugs in general but also the story behind each piece in his collection. His expertise is invaluable in assessing the right fit for purchasing such a fine item for ones home.
