Specializing in Fine hand-knotted Persian, Oriental and Modern carpets, we at Beckwith Galleries pride ourselves in offering focused attention to sales and service to our clients.
Bernie was a pleasure to work with, and he went out of his way to assist us in choosing the perfect area rugs for our home. His helpful advice, and the ability to examine a number of carpets right in our own home really made a difference.
Bernie made it so easy - lugging heavy carpets in and out until we were satisfied that we had what we wanted.
Bernie assisted me with the repair and cleaning of three much lived with Bokhara rugs, that were sadly needing TCL. I am delighted to have them back home, looking like they've had facelifts.
The work was done in good time and was affordable. I enjoyed meeting and working with Bernie, as well as taking in so much beauty from the galleries collection.
Beckwith Galleries has provided us with outstanding service. The owner helped us to choose carpets. He made research to find the best possible carpet for us and always brought a number of them to make sure that the winning choice was the perfect one.
Bernie knows oriental carpets as nobody in Ottawa does.
Bernie is very professional and vey dedicated to please the people that trust him.
When needed, Bernie helped us a number of times with the cleaning of our oriental carpets. Cleaning was always done meticulously, to our satisfaction.
We've tried others before, but in our view, Beckwith Galleries is the best business of this kind in Ottawa.
Where to start...The professionalism, quality, guidance, patience; "flawless". I was never hurried, all questions were answered (no matter how mundane)...all done with a sense of graciousness and humour.
My final selected carpet is beautiful. Bernie, my most heartfelt thanks for making the process painless. This was by far the most agreeable shopping experience I've had in quite some time.
We were thrilled with the personal support of Bernie Teklenburg for the purchase of two oriental rugs for our new condo recently.
Through numerous consultations in which we tried out a variety of rugs Bernie found us just the right rugs which we fell in love with. We never felt pressured and we were happy with the prices.
Excellent service. I called Beckwith Galleries for help in appraising my oriental carpets that had been damaged in a flood. Bernie came out and provided an appraisal for my insurance company within a day. In the end, I hired Beckwith Galleries to clean the carpets, which turned out beautifully.
An added bonus was the pick up and drop off service to my home. I highly recommend this company.
My wife and I recently purchased two Persian Rugs from Beckwith Galleries. We found that Bernie's knowledge of Persian Rugs is second to none. He was able to explain the origin and meaning of the design of each rug as well as explain the quality and craftsmanship behind them.
Bernie is a very down to earth person and works in a calm, no pressure atmosphere. He learned our style preference quickly, and was able to locate Rugs that were in the style of our liking and bring them into his showroom. The showroom has great selection and Bernie made the entire experience very pleasant.
We would both recommend Beckwith Galleries to anyone looking to invest in a high quality rug.
I had an Indo Kashan carpet cleaned at Beckwith Galleries. The pick up was prompt and I had it back within 10 days, right before Christmas. My carpet, which has a white background, has had a lot of use over the past 25 years as we are a family of 6 and have had 2 large dogs during this time. It turned out beautifully, as good as new.
The owner of the store, Bernie Teklenburg is very knowledgeable in his field and conducts his business in a professional way.
The service at Beckwith Galleries was personalized and tailored to our needs. A great deal of attention was paid to determining what was the best fit for our living room and lifestyle.
Bernie traveled to our home and we were able to view a number of rugs in the space. When we narrowed our choice down to a couple of rugs, we were able to live with them in the room for a week or so, before we made our final choice. We were very happy with both the service and the product.
Bernie Teklenburg takes very good care of his customers. Having a wide range of carpets in a variety of styles and sizes (but of consistently high quality), he is willing to take the time to make sure that a client gets not just any carpet, but the *right* carpet for their space and aesthetic.
Providing time for the client to look at and live with carpets in their own homes prior to sale is a lovely example of the prime service that Bernie provides. I'm still so pleased with my carpet to this day, and I count that as a job well done on the part of Beckwith Galleries!
My husband and I had just completed a home renovation in which fitted carpeting had been replaced by wood flooring. We wanted to purchase good quality rugs to complete this project. We searched on-line for companies in Ottawa and found the Beckwith Galleries' site very informative, including photos of rugs that appealed to our taste. It was easy to set up an appointment to go to the showroom and we found the range of rugs were of good quality, and as advertised.
The owner, Bernie Teklenburg, was very knowledgeable, took plenty of time to make himself acquainted with our our home (we took photos along with us) our tastes and our budget. He was able to work with us to narrow down options and, most important of all, offered to bring a selection to our home so that we could see how they would look. This made a big difference, since tone, design and colouring were crucial and could not have been properly judged from being seen only in a showroom,
Overall, he was prompt and professional and very pleasant and we are very happy with our experience. Read Less
Bernie Tecklenberg of Beckwith Galleries, Ottawa, provided me with excellent advice and service in the purchase of two oriental carpets for a great room and master bedroom.
He visited my home with a varied choice of carpets and offered great advice when I was uncertain, making sure the carpets were appropriate to the size and existing furnishings. I have no hesitation in recommending Beckwith Galleries to professional designers and individual buyers.
Amazing experience! This is the third time Beckwith Galleries has helped us out finding the perfect rug. Bernie listens a to what you want and then using his vast experience and inventory brought over several rugs to choose from. He left us with several to try out for a while and it was hard to pick with so many excellent choices.
This process makes finding rugs a Great experience and in the end you have far better handmade products than any store for a fair price. The service is outstanding.
We were given Bernie's name by our interior designer to help us in choosing area carpets for our living and dining rooms. We found Bernie to be courteous, patient and very knowledgeable. He made several house visits until we found the perfect carpets for our home.
We would definitely recommend Beckwith Galleries to anyone wishing to purchase a quality carpet.
It was a pleasure doing business with Bernie Teklenburg and Beckwith Galleries. He is clearly very knowledgeable and treated us with professionalism and respect. We never felt rushed into making a decision. In fact, he showed a remarkable degree of patience and quite quickly got a good sense of what we were looking for.
Perhaps the only small caveat is that he went a bit over the budget we had discussed, but we are delighted with our final choice. Finally, the installation was done with great care and professionalism.
We would recommend Beckwith Galleries to anyone looking for a quality product and superb service. Thanks Bernie.
