ABOUT US

The Nalbandian family has been in the business of buying and selling fine handmade antique carpets and textiles for generations in Lebanon, dating back all the way to 1792.

HISTORY

Serge Nalbandian represents the fifth generation of this family business, perpetuating the family’s passion for carpets. He, however, is the first to have the world as his marketplace, carrying the family’s business across continents, vowing to live up to the legacy left by his predecessors. That is both a privilege and a burden, for a lot of hard work is put into distant travels to source pieces that merit the family’s name and satisfy Serge’s own discerning eye and expertise.

AFTER 232 YEARS OF TRADITIONAL CARPET TRADE CONTEMPORARY CARPETS INVADE THE SCENE.

Hand Knotted

A hand-knotted area rug is unique and is made knot by knot on a loom often using materials like pure silk, wool bamboo silk and cotton. These rugs have a flatter pie and the density of knots per square inch at the back of the carpet defines its quality.

Hand Loom

Handloom rugs are traditionally handwoven on a vertical loom with a mounted warp. The weaving process determines the quality of the final product. The base of the rug is made of two sets of intersecting threads. To press the strands of the fores together, a thin thread is utilized.

Hand Printed

The out pile rug undergoes a proprietary printing technique where each design is screen printed by the hands of an artist. The result is a rug with a luxurious feel that shines as if it was made from beautiful hand-knotted silk
