Certainly most are grateful for the new political agreement between Iran and the rest of the world, in regard to their procurement of nuclear weapons.
But there are other benefits! Persian carpets. Before the agreement, trade in such items was prohibited. But now, as a sign of the new detente, US citizens are free to trade in the product.
I have acquired new knowledge in the skill of Persian carpet assessment: the quality of the wool, knot count, the character and symmetry of the design, distinctness of the design, and visibility of the design on the back of the carpet.
My sons own a flooring business (Dalton Direct Flooring of Augusta), and I’m trying to convince them of the wisdom of sending me to Iran on a buying trip. I’m sure this investment will open up new markets for them.
And I am anxious to see the the great country of Iran. Over the years, I’ve had many friends from Persia, friends with divergent beliefs. Iran, from what I’ve read, is an amazing country with great diversity, much more than the US news reveals. And now here’s my excuse to go.
Persian carpets for sale!
