The New England Rug Society (NERS) is an informal, non-profit
organization of people interested in enriching their knowledge and
appreciation of antique oriental rugs and textiles.
NERS members gather six to eight times each year at meetings
which usually feature an outside speaker and focus on a particular theme related to the
rug field, with an occasional textile topic included for
variety. Meetings are held in various locations in the greater
Boston area, depending on the subject. |
We welcome you to our site. And if you like what you see,
we'll be pleased to welcome you as a member as well.
On this website, you
will find everything
you need to apply for membership. Enjoy your visit.
