For over thirty years, his import firm Sun Bow Trading Co. provided most of the rugs sold in The Mezzanine Gallery Shop at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. In addition to running Sun Bow Trading from 1977 to 2018, Mr. Barodofsky’s professional career included personally selecting rugs and artifacts for major US collections and co-founding an educational site on collectible weavings.
