If you have always dreamed of an authentic Persian or Oriental carpet, Émir is the place to find one. They import authentic carpets from the Middle East and antique original tapestries. They can also maintain and restore your old tapestry in their workshop. Their experience and expertise is one of a kind and unvaluable since they were established in 1819. Review © 2007, Wcities |
