Mr. Kermanshah says you have to be careful about what you’re putting in your home. He’s been selling hand-crafted Persian and Oriental rugs for over 30 years. “These are not $20 knock-off Van Gogh ‘Sunflowers.’ These rugs are handmade creations and take five to six years to weave.” As such, the cleaning process should be equally as thoughtful. The cleaning procedures take time and Kermanshah will pick up and deliver your rugs back to you. He, like his rugs, is the real deal.

Diane Martine’s philosophy is that “carpet is artistry for the floor.” So it makes sense that when painter/filmmaker Julian Schnabel was looking for someone to reconstruct a mansion-size rug, he called her. In addition to repair work, Martine’s Sutton Carpet Ltd. offers cleaning services and sells a wide array of carpeting and rugs.
