Samuel & Sons
Samuel & Sons has long been a coveted source for the finest quality trimmings such as tassels, borders, braids, gimp, fringes and more. Interior designers and architects around the world have come to rely on the quality and selection available in stock. Innovation, variety and availability have long been the keys to Samuel & Sons’ success. Introducing exclusive collections with diverse materials such as silk, wool, glass, crystal, seashells and wood has led to its selection of over 15,000 trims being eagerly sought after by designers and architects for both residential and hospitality interiors. Headquartered in New York City, Samuel & Sons is a family-owned company that was founded more than three quarters of a century ago. Continuing the trimming design legacy, Sam Cohen, along with his two eldest sons, Michael and Hymie, take great pride in creating original designs to reflect both traditional and modern styles. Classics are interpreted with a modern twist, and traditional items are given new life. With generations of experience, Samuel & Sons’ dedication to the design trade is unparalleled. In addition to the in-stock collection, Samuel & Sons offers custom trim. Whether making adjustments to an already existing collection or creating a designer’s vision from scratch, the Custom Department provides one of a kind design that can be delivered in a timely fashion.
