What Makes a Fine Carpet Worth Collecting?

Today’s market is filled with rugs labeled “handmade oriental” that bear little resemblance to the great weaving traditions of the past. The quality, materials, craftsmanship, and design of most commercially available rugs are not much different from a good machine-made product — whatever the label says.

A Few Questions Worth Asking

Before acquiring a fine antique carpet, it helps to know what you are really looking for:

• Are you looking for a floor covering — or a fine antique carpet as the foundation of your interior design?
• Are you looking for a wall covering — or a piece of art?
• What is the history of the piece, and where was it made?
• How rare is it, and what materials were used?

These are the questions we ask every client. Finding the right piece takes time, trust, and a gallery that is genuinely interested in your needs — not simply in making a sale.
