History of Keljik Oriental Rugs

Since 1899, Keljik Oriental Rugs has remained a family operated business dedicated to full service in the oriental rug industry. Bedros Keljik opened the establishment over 125 years ago in St. Paul, servicing the mansions along Summit Avenue. The business then moved to 7th Street and Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis, and later to 11th Street and Nicollet Avenue. Bedros' son, Emerson, continued the business after World War II, until his retirement in 1989.
