Houzz Testimonials

Bernard is a wealth of knowledge and a very kind individual. He helped with the appraisal of my Persian rug which otherwise I would have never known its true monetary value. Highly recommended, and a pleasure to do business with.

Beckwith recoloured some worn areas of an old Persian carpet for us. They did a great job quickly and made a noticeable improvement.

Our experience with Bernie Teklenburg at Beckwith Galleries has been Top Tier in every respect. Bernie's knowledge of quality carpets and his diligent attention to every detail and follow-up has brought us back to him for every carpet need we have. Class A all the way!

The proprietor of Beckwith Galleries, Bernie Teklenburg is now 32 years in with extensive expertise and knowledge of quality Persian, Oriental, and Modern carpets as well as Antique/Vintage rugs and runners - and offers a complete range of services, including cleaning and repairs, personal services (appraisals and consultations) right in your home or office, and hassle-free pick-up and delivery. Bernie came to our home to look at a 10' X 12' Persian rug, now 50-plus years on, needing a little TLC, including cleaning, mending two worn spots, re-dying a couple of faded sections, and removing some candle melt. Following our discussion, Bernie removed the rug, and within two weeks the cleaning and repairs were done, and the rug was back in our home. Well, the rug looks spectacular, and the worn spots and the candle melt all turned out to look better than we could have hoped for! Subsequently, my wife and I visited Beckwith Galleries, where Bernie shared fascinating insights about the beautiful quality rugs he has on display. Our satisfaction with Beckwith Galleries is 100% - we're more than pleased with the service and our overall experience. Thank you, Bernie!

Great selection of carpets. Many sizes with varied colours and styles. The owner is very knowledgeable and shares his thoughts without being pushy. We are very happy with our carpet selections from Beckwith. Thank you!

Beckwith Galleries has an excellent assortment of high-quality and unique Persian rugs, and Bernie provides amazing customer service. When we needed a new rug for our dining room, we sent Bernie some pictures of the space and told him a little bit about our tastes. When we visited his store a couple of days later, he showed us his first choice. It was perfect! The rug is now in our dining room where we enjoy it every day.

It was a pleasure to deal with Beckwith Galleries. Bernie is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. I highly recommend them for quality carpets and great service.

Bernie's knowledge of Iranian carpets is amazing, he pinpointed the area our carpets were from, solving a sixty plus year old mystery. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with him in our home and look forward to seeing him at the gallery.

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

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!

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.

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, skilfully interprets these needs to find the perfect match for your project.

In Canada I found Bernard Teklenberg of Beckwith Galleries to be one of the few people in the trade going the extra mile for clients and associates. He is very knowledgeable and clearly experienced, with over four decades in the oriental Rug trade. I found my interactions and time working with Beckwith Galleries to be professional, engaging and above all a pleasure to deal with. His ability to access the widest range of quality rug types was very helpful to us. Thanks for your excellent service.

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!
