The 5th International Symposium on Azerbaijan Carpets

This year Baku hosts the 5th International Symposium on Azerbaijan carpets; Traditions and Innovations, running from 17th-29th October 2017. Also along side this event the Azerbaijan Carpet Museum 22nd-24th May 2017, will host the 2nd International Symposium of the Common Language of the Turkic World-Patterns. Back in London the Oriental Rug Centre has seen a busy start to the year, and along with new rugs and carpets arriving from Iran (Persia) and Afghanistan the selection is one of the best in the world. David J.Wilkins Oriental Rug Experts has found a shift in sales, back from modern abstract rugs to the finer traditional Persian carpets. It seems quality once again is taking the lead, and not before time, in the long run these customers and there families will benefit from choosing a high quality handmade Persian rug or carpet.
