With a global economy in turmoil, conflicts raging in the Middle East and Africa, poverty and global warming, we, as a people, are facing serious challenges. During the recent US elections, America has demonstrated its belief in the “audacity of hope”. We have made a historic decision to leave behind the divisive identities that have so far kept us from working together for a common purpose. We have affirmed that the things that unite us are far more important than the issues that separate us from one another, and that to meet the challenges ahead, America must look to the future rather than the past.
On the cover of this week’s NY Magazine, Michelle Obama, Sasha, Malia, and the new hypoallergenic puppy are all grouped above one of our pieces“ a French Aubusson carpet of the First Empire period. We must note that their busy schedule did not allow them to pose above the actual carpet. The picture was achieved as a ‘Photoshop’ montage (art must sometimes take liberties in the quest for elegance) but the result is what counts!
In the new year of 2009, with an optimistic spirit, we will have the youngest First Family in the White House in more than two generations. We at Nazmiyal Collection would like to wish the President Elect, his family, and all our clients, friends and associates health, success, and prosperity for the upcoming holiday!
