Press Release Summary: Today\'s popular designs combined with the workmanship of generations.
Press Release Body: Berkeley, CA- Hand-knotted Persian rugs in traditional designs have long been appreciated as one of a kind works of art. However, for those seeking modernist rather than traditional designs, rug dealers and homeowners alike have experienced difficulty finding outstanding examples which exhibit the same unsurpassed workmanship found in traditionally styled hand-knotted Persian rugs. In response to this need, Leon Mayeri, owner of GoldenAgeRugs.Com has partnered with some of the most reputable weavers in India, Iran, and Pakistan to produce hand-knotted oriental carpets with unique-fusion modernist designs, featuring all the intrigue and compelling beauty of their traditionally designed counterparts. "The detailed crafting and technique of hand-knotted carpets is now very focused on inventive modernism, with new leaps and bounds appearing in splendid continuity. Mechanically produced rugs simply do not provide the same unique look or durability, in virtually all important design categories" said Mayeri. Designs which feature art deco, geometric, transitional, mixed-age, and other contemporary themes are increasingly in demand within the decorative rug market. "Modernist designs are currently among the most popular items in the industry. I have spent considerable time seeking out the very best weavers for these designs, focusing on accomplished sources who pay close attention to evolving themes of texture, color and originality" said Mayeri. As a member of Care and Fair, an organization dedicated to the education and wellness of carpet-knotting families, GoldenAgeRugs.com supports the elimination of illegal child labor practices among weavers worldwide. An early supporter of efforts to eradicate illegal child labor practices, Mayeri continues to visit and import from certified weaving facilities in India who participate in the Care and Fair program.
Mayeri credits the consistent quality of his inventory and the work standards of the weavers he works with to his direct personal involvement in every stage of the production process. "I make personal visits to the weavers of our rugs to provide a direct link from the producer to the customer. GoldenAgeRugs.Com accepts work from only the most reputable and upstanding weavers in the industry," said Mayeri. Mayeri's extensive inventory of modernist and traditional style Persian rugs is available for online viewing at www.goldenagerugs.com. In addition, Mayeri shows rugs by appointment at his Berkeley, CA warehouse.
