Orley Shabahang operates as a textile manufacturer focused on handcrafted Persian and Turkish revival carpets. The company emphasizes traditional, long-forgotten knotting techniques, hand-spun wool, and natural dyeing, with production conducted in village settings where weavers work in homes under contracted arrangements, and the entire process carried out by hand. This approach positions its products as distinctive, artisanal carpets that aim to offer one-of-a-kind qualities rooted in historical craft rather than mass production. Based in New York, the business traces its origins to a collaboration between Geoffrey Orley and Bahram Shabahang, with a family lineage in the carpet trade dating back several centuries. The target market appears to be buyers of high-end, collectible, and revival carpets seeking authentic techniques and storied construction methods, rather than generic furnishings. A recent development noted is the company’s continuation and focus on exclusive creation and supply of these handcrafted carpets to its clients.
