THE TULANIAN FAMILY NO LONGER OWNS THE BUILDING ON COLLEGE AVE.
We have ceased operating a rug cleaning and repair business (see below) and we are NOT associated with any person doing business out of our former building or using our name without permission. We DID NOT sell nor give the Tulanian family name to anyone.
You can reach us via email: tulanianrugs@gmail.com
Our history begins in 1 9 2 2
Hatchadoor Tulanian and his bride Zabel arrive in Berkeley. They fall in love with the climate and decide to stay. An experienced rugman with a prior business in Philadelphia, Hatchadoor sets up his rug shop at 2938 College Avenue. In 1925 he purchases the building at 2998 College Avenue and moves his business there.
In 1997 brother and sister Gary and Jane Tulanian became the third generation owners and, along with their niece Kristen, continued the business until 2024 when they decided to sell the building and retire from the cleaning and repair aspect to focus on consulting and selling their popular rug fragment ornaments.
