The past two decades have seen a marked increase in consumer awareness and appreciation of the value and beauty of authentic, handmade carpets. This has spurred growth in an ancient industry that is increasingly guided by demands of the modern market. Talented artists create portfolios of carpet designs and manufacturers ensure that they are carefully made by skilled and dedicated weavers, using the best materials for long-term durability and value. From this seemingly limitless variety, our exhibitors carefully select only the best examples to present to their valued customers.
The New York International Carpet Show is an exclusive trade venue for established and qualified importers who have permanent businesses in North America and Europe to serve their buyers.
