Pasadena Museum of History to offer Evening at Pashgian Brothers

AN EVENING AT PASHGIAN BROTHERS

Thursday, October 15, 6:00 to 8:00 pm

Beautiful hand made oriental carpets have graced the homes of Pasadena residents for over 100 years. Many of the early local dealers were Armenian immigrants who brought to America the trading skills they had developed in ancient Armenia, situated at the crossroads of the Ottoman, Russian, and Persian empires. By 1903-4 brothers John and Moses Pashgian had established their rug business as the first in Pasadena.

The Pasadena Museum of History presents a special evening for textile enthusiasts featuring a discussion and showing of antique and modern oriental rugs. This event takes place in the Pashgian Brothers showroom, 993 East Colorado Blvd., Pasadena.
