Houzz Testimonials

We have had several occasions to interact with Bernie Tecklenburg of Beckwith Galleries in servicing our antique oriental carpets. It has been an uplifting experience. Bernie is an outstanding professional with decades of experience that has provided helpful guidance and advise on every occasion. Service has always been one on one, friendly as well as professional. It has been a pleasure dealing with Bernie, as here is a man who not only loves his job, but also has a deep understanding of all the values that are represented in a hand made, quality, Oriental carpet. We can highly recommend Beckwith Gallery when looking for Oriental carpets as they have a great selection. Ask for Bernie!

Bernie at Beckwith Galleries was super helpful, patient and accommodating. I’ll be coming back for any future fine carpet needs.

I have had 3 carpets from Beckwith Galleries over the last 25 years… still have all 3 and I love them as much today as the day they came into our home. They still look pristine and I have 2 dogs.

One was damaged by a new puppy chewing phase; the fringe was damaged and Bernie had a contact for its repair. I delivered it to Beckwith Galleries and he organized the repair, it only took a week! They are also very good for being the go between for cleaning services. I have them professionally cleaned every 2 years.

Not too many businesses show as much interest in the after market purchase but Bernie at Beckwith knows how to have people come back (service and quality) is key.

Can’t speak highly enough of the wonderful service provided by Bernie. He cleaned and repaired beautifully a hand knotted rug for us and it looks like new.

He is very knowledgeable and pleasant to deal with. He delivered the rug to us himself and made sure it was laid correctly. We highly recommend Beckwith Galleries!

It is always a pleasure to meet with and do business with Bernie Teklenburg at Beckwith Galleries.  Bernie has always been prepared to go the extra mile to satisfy us with the carpets that suit our taste, size requirement and décor. 

If we have not been entirely satisfied with his first offering, we simply return the carpet at the Gallery’s expense and Bernie enthusiastically resumes the search for the one that meets with our complete satisfaction. 

We are deeply grateful for the effort Bernie puts into finding carpets of high quality which we have chosen to purchase with complete confidence. 

We would not hesitate to highly recommend him and Beckwith Galleries to family and friends.

My husband and I can't praise Bernie Teklenburg of Beckwith Galleries enough.  His service, knowledge and professionalism were outstanding.  We were looking to buy a new Persian rug for our family room and ended up buying four! 

A Persian  Moud Mashad for our living room, an Indo Gabbeh for the family room and two Gabbeh Irans for our entrance ways. 

We were that impressed with his pricing, which we considered very reasonable.  Bernie also took away two Chinese Silk rugs and our dining room Persian Mashad for repair and a re-dye. The results were amazing and again, very reasonable.

We researched and visited other rug dealers but found the experience daunting. Nothing compared to dealing with Bernie. It was a pleasure working with Bernie; his energy knows no bounds!

If you’re looking for unique, quality carpets from Persia, Afghanistan and Pakistan, hand knotted and sumptuously designed, look no further than Beckwith galleries.

Bernie is a superlative consultant and allows the shopper time and space to make a decision before buying, no pressure at all. The end results is always pleasing and your acquisition will be proudly handed down from one generation to the next.

We recently purchased a Persian Heriz rug from Bernie. He was very helpful and wonderful to deal with.

He took us through a number of options in his showroom and came by our house to help us make a decision and set up the rug with an underpad.

I’m very pleased and great service with delivery because I wasn’t well. I’m definitely going back to continue furnishing my new apartment with Beckwith Galleries.

They were very helpful and good knowledge on just what I’m looking for.

Thanks very much!!

Outstanding inventory of high end area rugs. The owner, Bernie Teklenburg is an extremely knowledgeable expert with an eye for design and a process for helping clients find the right carpet.

He did a preselection, presenting me with several options and I took two rugs home to try out. I am very pleased with the result. The rug is beautiful for my space. Delivery and pickup and all service provided was excellent.

It is the second time I purchase a carpet from Bernie at Beckwith Galleries and both times I have been impressed with the quality of the service and the wide variety of carpets.

This last time, I was buying a large 6' x 9' carpet for the living room space and Bernie generously allowed me to try it out in the space first.

It makes such a difference in making a expensive purchase to be able to see what it will actually look like at home. I would not have originally picked that carpet but it turned out to match and fit perfectly!

Beckwith Galleries had such an amazing collection of beautiful rugs, it was a bit overwhelming. I brought a photo to show Bernie my décor to provide a visual of what I preferred.

A week later, Bernie arrived with a few rugs to choose from, but one stood out and matched my décor - and my preferences - perfectly. I am beyond pleased. The rug I selected is gorgeous and suits my condo to a T!!

A gallery, in the truest sense of the word. Beckwith is a beautiful space, tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood, that displays the most beautiful, authentic, and unique carpet & textile arts for your home or office.

The real deal. Bernie himself is the curator; he is a generous host who provides space for the client to share their requirements and in turn, skillfully interprets these needs to find the perfect match for your project.
