Master Weaver Ali Taghavi
Ali Taghavi is a Master Weaver who has been practicing the art of Oriental rug making since 1950. He was taught at the age of 5 under the guidance of his father and brother. Rug weaving requires a mastery of a wide variety of skills, which he soon developed and, at age 8, started his own business. By this time, his reputation as an incredible weaving talent was recognized worldwide, and he began taking rug orders from customers around the world. In addition to his rug-making skills, Ali had advanced knowledge in rug care and restoration, and rug dealers across the globe sought his care-taking and repair techniques. In 1977, Ali and his son Hamid moved to Memphis and opened Taghavi's Oriental Rugs, where they have been providing sales and services for rugs of all kinds since.
