1) Introduction
I have been working in oriental rugs for over 14 years. I have seen all aspects of the oriental rug business, from delivery and
installation, to importing, cleaning, and retailing. One thing that I have found is that unbiased information about oriental rugs is very
hard to find. Either the source of information is trying to sell you something or the source uses incomprehensible industry language.
So why are we providing this information for you? I find that the better educated our consumers are, the better our business is. Plain
and simple. We’ll give you the information, you do with it what you will.
We have purposely kept this book short, trying to impress upon you only the important things, if you wish to get a deeper oriental rug
education, check out the Rugs101 section of our website, www.lexingtonorientalrugs.com.
