Greetings. Well, fall has rolled around again and it’s time for our annual fall sale. Yeah!!!

It has been a tough year but we made it! Things have picked up this fall after a particularly slow winter. And we have a ton of beautiful rugs! Actually, we have a few too many rugs, so we are offering a large discount with loads of clearance rug!

This year, our clearance rugs are 40% off!!!

We have a new section on our website simply titled “Clearance Rugs” . The “clearance” price marked here reflects the 40% off our normal retail price. These clearance items are new, perfect condition rugs that simply have been our inventory a little too long. It is time to find them a home! (and maybe it will be your home?)

If you are ordering online, the 40% discount is already listed and no additional discount will apply to the clearance price.

Remember, at Nomad Rugs we do not sell the run-of-the-mill, mass produced oriental rugs. We sell unique, one-of-a-kind, naturally dyed rugs made in small cottage industry rug workshops. Plus, I personally inspect every rug that comes into my store. Every rug I sell is made with artistic and structural integrity! As I like to say, this is art you can walk on!

The sale ends November 30th so stop by soon. Me ‘n Chico look forward to seeing you!

best regards, Chris ‘n Chico

We are proud to be showcasing the art of local color master Marc Ellen Hamel in our backroom gallery!

She works in a wonderful abstract style the emphasises her bold use of color and rich texture. Marc Ellen is a Noe Valley local who lives just down the street from the shop and paints in her studio in Hunters Point.

Please come to our opening reception on Friday night from 6pm to 8pm. Meet and greet the fabulous artist, drink some wine, eat some cheese and pet Chico! We look forward to seeing you!

All works for this show are in oil and all pieces are available for purchase. I can’t help to think how much Marc Ellen’s work reminds me of some of the colorful Gabbeh rugs that we sell such as this one or this one too. What do you think?

Learn more about Marc Ellen here from her website.

See you at the show! Hurry ’cause the show ends Oct. 25, 2009!
