Sartirana Textile Show – preview

Sartirana Textile Show 13-16 September 2012 includes approximately 30 antique rug and textile dealers. Many countries are represented with esteemed dealers f.ex. France, Germany, Finland, Austria, Iran, England, Turkey and of course the host country Italy it self.

Sartirana Textile Show is known for it’s relaxed atmosphere and the fair is also a venue for the dealers themselves for discussions about antique rugs and carpet business.

Several faithful dealers have attended and exhibited at Sartirana Textile Show since Alberto Boralevi in 2005 revived the show.

One of these dealers are David Sorgato, a Milan dealer and a popular figure at Sartirana Textile Show. This year David Sorgato, among other offers, will show a special collection of Avar kilims and pile rugs. “I’m presenting the ‘Avar’, a large selection of Daghestan Chibta kilims made by wool and cotton on segde fibers and also some small Daghestan rugs” said David Sorgato to Jozan Magazine.
