Carpet Concert Los Angeles


Wow!! What a night! Carpet Concert in Levantine  Cultural Center in Los Angeles with Rowan Storm and friends with Persian, Arabic, Armenian, Turkish, Greek and more music and folk dances. For the past few carpet concerts in Los Angeles, I have had the pleasure of providing hand knotted Persian carpets for Rowan Storm. She is a renown musician who plays and teaches frame drum (dayereh and daf). She also sings. It was a sold out event and everybody had to take off his/her shoes to sit on the carpets to listen to the music and watch the dances. It started at 7:30 and ended at around 10:00 pm on Tuesday 05/24/2011. We delivered the carpets at 5:00 pm and returned them around 11:00 pm to our rug gallery.

It was an evening of fun, meditation, and indulgence.

Hand Knotted Persian Carpet Designs

Some rugs have a central medallion in the center with 1/4 of that medallion on each corner. Some of our customers like this kind of design. Other rugs may have an overall design in which flowers and motives are repeated all over the carpet. It is a matter of taste and there is no technical or professional advantages attached to one of these designs over the other one. Here you can see some samples of the designs. These rugs are all hand knotted Persian carpets with cotton foundation and lamb's wool pile.
