Folk art in multiple forms, but more so in seriously gorgeous rugs. I have no idea what Nomadic…read moreTrading Company was like when it was located elsewhere, but if it was anything like what it is now in Durham, the other locations lost out. There's a huge selection of Oriental/Turkish/Persian rugs in all colors and sizes in the back. It's art for your floor and just as hard to pick only one to take home. But getting to the back of the store to see those amazing rugs is only one piece of the adventure Nomadic Trading offers. You first have to walk through a collection of Oriental, Indian, Turkish art history of assorted items. All of them, the furniture, water jars, lamps, beads, etc. are striking -- simple, yet complex at the same time. The natural materials are a refreshing change from modern-day chemical-based creations. When you get to the back of the store, you'll see rugs in colors and patterns unlike any others. The blues and reds attracted my attention, but each of them is intriguing in its own way. The patterns and colors all had a story to tell. It's folk-art. If you're truly fortunate, you'll be able to listen to the owner play his drums - I think they're Dybbuk (I forgot to ask) -- to add to the ambience.

Nice furniture options too, but can be pricey compared to At Home. The staff is always nice and the lines are long but never take forever to get through.

Sissy is very knowable about design and what would fit the clients needs. Last time in, we saw a very practical patio table and chair set. I was imminently due for ankle surgery. We bought it and said it might be a while before we could pick it up. 10 weeks or so later, I called to give an update on when I could pickup the furniture. Sissy offered to bring it to our N Durham cottage since she would be coming that way soon. What a nice surprise gesture. (Not their policy). Stop in the see the great offerings they have which turn over very rapidly and enjoy the fruits of their talents. Bruce and Kathy Harrod
