Notes on Emmett Eiland
|
Emmett Eiland is one of
the county's outstanding rug dealers. I have been to his
store in Berkeley and it is a wonderful mix of new and
old, decorative and collectable.
"Emmett
Eiland (along with his brother Murray) founded
the Oriental Rug Company in 1969 in Berkeley,
California after graduating from the University of
California. From the beginning, the Eilands made
buying and research trips to Afghanistan, Iran,
Turkey and the Caucasus. Through newsletters, books,
exhibitions, seminars, films and public talks, the
Eiland’s did much to create a fertile oriental
rug scene in the San Francisco Bay Area.
By 1975, Emmett was operating the
Oriental Rug Company by himself, and, by 1979, he was
joined in the business by his wife Natasha. Today,
Emmett and Natasha Eiland’s Oriental Rug Company
is the oldest fully active rug store in Northern
California. The business is centered in an 8000 sq.
ft. showroom in Berkeley." Oriental

A 5 Star Book!
Emmett sent me a draft of Oriental
Rugs Today before it went to press and I went
over it line by line and I was very impressed.
When I got back to Emmett with a few questions
about certain points I was really impressed
because Emmett was right on some of the points I
thought I had him on. I ended UP learning some
things I had thought I already knew.
I really got a kick out of it
when the publisher quoted me on the back cover
but frankly I mean it when I say:
"This is the single best
book on the carpets most people will be
buying."
