The
History of OCM |
OCM
(London) Limited |
| With its massive early success, OCM quickly moved its core operation from Smyrna to London - at that time the center of the world Oriental carpet trade. |
| The London
headquarters were established in a showroom/warehouse in Newgate Street,
in the heart of the City of London, adjoining the Old Bailey law court. What began as a quaint single showroom based upon an English country house interior rapidly developed into the largest Oriental carpet building in London, comprising five floors of showroom space accessed from the Warwick Square side of the OCM building and the only privately owned Bonded Warehouse for Oriental carpets in London that was reached via the original Newgate Street entrance. |
