Persian Mercantile

Like many importers of his generation, Mr. Mayeri, a native of Isfahan, Iran, built his business on a hands-on, wholesale level by exhibiting at trade shows and educating his clients about the history, resonating beauty and uniqueness of his products. He developed accounts with leading retailers nationwide, including W & J Sloan, Henri Bendel, Marshall Field, Nieman Marcus and Gumps. He offered the Curry family with exquisite flat-woven carpets, which are still displayed at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite park.
