Inventory

Barbara has a treasured inventory of only hand-made rugs which she presents to clients in her home or their own. Her desire is to meet the needs of her clients and educate potential buyers on how a rug is made and how to recognize a quality Oriental rug.

Her belief is that unless the buyer is educated, there is no way of knowing if the price represents the rug's true value.

Barbara's approach is to invite the buyer to a seminar where she explains the history of rug making. Clients and visitors will learn how to recognize quality carpets through knot count, wool content, density, and intricacy of design. Also included in the presentation are cleaning and care techniques for Oriental rugs.

Barbara's extensive inventory includes Dhurries from India, Triabals from Turkey, Kilims, Needlepoints, beautiful wool piles from around the world, and much more. She offers all ranges of sizes, colors and designs and at costs much less than normal retail operations.

The large assortment of colors and designs conveniently helps the buyer to find just the right piece for his or her home. In addition, Barbara encourages a home trial period for new buyers, as well as price comparisons.
