The Carpet & Textile Forum will start on Tuesday afternoon, with a wine reception preceding the opening of the ‘Dealers’ Row’, which will be open into that evening.

Wednesday and Thursday is devoted to the events usual mix of six topical sessions: ‘Chuvals from the Amu Darya’, ‘Gabbeh Rugs’, ‘Salt Bags’, ‘Saltillo Serapis’, ‘Okbash’, ‘Velvet Ikats’ and the ‘Show-&-Tell’. The sessions are moderated by scholars and enthusiasts that share their material and allow the attendees to see and handle some of them.

Thursday evening is finished off with a buffet barbecue, where all attendees can enjoy that special cuisine in good company.

‘At our several past gatherings, the Marriott has proved a most congenial atmosphere for collectors and dealer-collectors of rugs, kilims, bags, and textiles to share and discuss examples from their collections as they exchange ideas, experiences, and expertise’ says Brian Morehouse to Jozan Magazine.
