Now You Can Buy PGNY’s Antique Rugs and Tapestries Online!

Happy Spring!  Today is March 20th, 2015, the first day of Spring, or as it’s called in Persian culture, Nowrooz (“new day”)!  Happy Spring and Happy Nowrooz to all of you from all of us here at Persian Gallery New York!  Of course, in true New York City fashion, the first day of Spring is accompanied by a significant snow storm, but at least we can hold out hope that it will be the last snow storm of the season, and that warmer weather will quickly follow!

As we shift into the Spring season, and the major holidays of Passover and Easter loom just over the horizon, we’re on the cusp of another season, as well; the Spring Selling Season!  That’s right, in the area rug industry, Spring brings with it many things, not the least of which is a new crop of clients who are ready to shake off their winter blues and start their long-planned redecoration projects.

Traditionally, clients were always advised to start any redesign project with their rugs first, so that the rug’s unique aesthetic and its color combination could dictate the colors and design choices for the rest of the room’s decor.  Nowadays, that rule of thumb has started to fade away, what with the enormity of color and design options available in new rugs, but for the devoted antique rug enthusiasts out there, it’s a guiding principle that will always hold true.

In 2015, though, even those same traditional rug enthusiasts that, come Spring, would always start to scour the rug market for the perfect antique oriental rug have started to shift their behavior.  With the prevalence of online shopping, and the ease of access of finding and buying virtually anything in the world one could want from one’s phone, tablet, or computer, even the most stalwart of antique rug buyers don’t necessarily show up in the showrooms anymore, but would rather do their rug buying from their homes.

While we still have plenty of clients who prefer to come to our showroom and see our antique rugs and tapestries up close and in person, we understand that we do have to try to accommodate those buyers who prefer to shop from home, and to allow for that, we have to make our rugs available for sale online.

As such, we have made new partnerships with two of the leading forces in online decor sales, First Dibs and One Kings Lane!  From here on in, we will be posting numerous antique oriental rugs and period European tapestries on these two websites, where our clients can buy them directly, with just a few clicks of the mouse (or taps of the screen)!  To view all our rugs and tapestries currently for sale on these two sites, follow the links below, which can also always be found on our Links page for future reference:

Of course, you can also still find many of our rugs at discounted prices right here on PGNY.com, in our PGNY Outlet, and while those rugs can’t yet be purchased online, they can be purchased by calling or e-mailing us, or visiting us in our showroom.  As traditionalists, we will always believe that there is nothing like seeing and feeling an oriental rug in person, and that nothing can replace the showroom experience, but today is a new day, a Nowrooz, a Spring forward, and we happily spring forward into this new realm of online sales with First Dibs, with One Kings Lane, and with you!
