NERS HOME

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.

We have more exciting programs ahead, with webinars in September, November and December, 2021, and a return to in-person meetings beginning in October and November. Scroll down for specific details.

We welcome you to join us as a member to support our programs. Members can watch recordings of our webinars at a time of their choosing, a benefit to members far from our New England home base. Please click to apply for membership.
