Ward's Oriental Rug Service & Gallery

Begun as an oriental rug cleaning and restoration specialist in 2002, the family-owned business rolled out the oriental rug sales side of the business in 2004 to accommodate clientele interested in acquiring rare rugs for their personal pleasure and investment value. Owner/operators, Kevin, Patricia and Gary Ward have been collecting oriental rugs for over 35 years and are more than happy to showcase these collectibles in a unique, open-concept gallery settings that would be very much home in Manhattan’s Soho district. The native Allentonians run their business themselves, along with a few employees schooled in the fine points of oriental rug culture and care. Not surprisingly, the Wards are the region’s preeminent authorities on heirloom rugs. Kevin and Gary hold certificates in Fine Oriental Rug Studies from New York University. They are the only certified oriental carpet appraisers in the Lehigh Valley. Both of the Ward’s lecture extensively on the topic of oriental carpets
