For the trade
Eight services, one company, forty years in one category. If you sell rugs, design with them, run a venue, or weave and export them, there is a version of this that works for you.
One form. A person reads it and replies within one business day.
Three kinds of working relationship
Sell into a national buyer pool instead of your own zip code. Hand your wash and repair work to a proper wash floor instead of turning it away. Put your overflow on tubes in climate control instead of in the back room. Have your inventory photographed on your own floor.
Source vetted pieces with the construction and materials actually stated. Rent for staging, weddings, film and television, product shoots and trade shows. Get client appraisals written by somebody who has handled thousands of rugs.
Reach American buyers through a channel where certification is the gate, so your work is not competing on price against goods that are misdescribed. Consolidated inbound freight instead of container minimums, so you are not forced to ship more than you have sold.
What is public and what is not
Every method on this site is described openly, and retail pricing is public on each service page, because a customer deciding whether to trust us deserves both. Trade terms are a different matter. They depend on your volume, your sizes, your average value and where you are, and a published number would be wrong for almost everybody who read it.
Priced from your own measurements, with no form and no email required. The Wash House and The Mending Bench.
Fiber testing, knot counting, foundation and condition mapping, and what a certificate does and does not state. Read it.
Published in full, including who pays when an inspection fails. Read it.
Carrier limits, the folding technique, and a calculator that tells you parcel or freight. Read it.
What equipment exists and what it can actually do. Read it.
Real inventory, by origin, with sizes and materials as recorded. Browse it.
Including the volume thresholds that move it, and where it lands for your average piece value.
What it costs for an inspector to come to your floor, and when it is waived.
When money reaches you relative to inspection sign off, and what holds it up.
Per square foot and per piece at trade volume, by fiber and by tier. Retail pricing is published openly on the service pages.
And the minimum price and term that go with them.
For suppliers and exporters, including how shipments are grouped and what the certification threshold is.
Before you send anything
Identifying a rug is physical work. You burn a fiber and smell it. You count knots with calipers. You read the back, the fringe and the selvedge. You put a tape on it, because the label is wrong more often than anyone in this trade admits.
Microscope, calipers, tape, burn test kit, raking light. Fiber and construction are determined, not estimated.
Full immersion capacity with controlled drying. Wool, silk, natural dye and problem cases handled separately.
Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Racked tube storage, climate controlled, room for a dealer's entire overflow floor.
The part that cannot be bought. Thousands of rugs handled, and the memory of what each one turned out to be.

The more specific you are about volume, sizes and what is currently not working, the more useful the reply. Terms come back in writing within one business day.
