Rugs and carpets have always served as a unique way of Armenian cultural expression. The Megerian Family has been involved in selling, restoration and production of fine oriental rugs for over four generations. Originally from Armenia, the Megerians established their rug trade business in the United States in 1917, and quickly developed an expertise in rug repairing and restoration. Over time, they began to realize the growing demand for different trends and subtle design changes and took their well honed skills to the loom to create their own decorative rugs. In Megerian Carpet one can find a rich collection of rugs and carpets with various ornaments and patterns, typical of Armenian culture. The most ancient carpet, that is kept here, dates back to the 17th century.
