Sartirana – review

Alberto Boralevi, the organizer of Sartirana Textile Show since 2005, must be satisfied with the high quality of exhibited antique rugs and textiles at this year’s fair.  A new concept with fever dealers was probably the reason for this.

The 25 attending antique rug dealers exhibited their best antique rugs and textiles and made this fair to an outstanding presentation of antique rug art. The attending dealers came from many different countries with approximately 50 % of the dealers from the host country Italy.
