Here is COVER’s list of the not-to-be-missed rugs at the show:
Don’t miss a visit to Momeni on the occasion of its 50th anniversary. The family owned company traces its beginnings to 1975, when founder Haji Momeni began providing high quality, exceptional rugs door-to-door. Now operated by the second and third generation of the family, this international manufacturer today produces thousands of rugs annually, spanning broadloom, machine made and one of a kind hand-knotted pieces.
