Illustrated herewith is one of them, Lot # 8762, a superb Antique Tekke Bokhara carpet, C. 1880, 8'11"x6'9" or 270x205 cms, among the hardest, and most desirable, of all sizes to source.

Please look up the article "Where there's a wall..." in Financial Times of Nov 19th 2011, under House & Home, www.ft.com. It describes the global recognition in recent years of outstanding Antique rugs as Fine Art, suitable for wall display and highly comparable, even superior in many ways, to traditional painted art. I and many colleagues around the world have spent our entire career trying to impress this message upon our customers and it is rewarding to see how we have, at last, been proven right.

Illustrated is a rare and very beautiful Antique Khamseh rug, SW Persia, Ca 1880, 7'9"x5'3" or 235x159 cm, Lot # 8761. For further details on it and other stock, click Current Stock, then Antique Rugs, and scroll down in order of size.
