Following our successful exhibition at Lost Weekend Design Store, Main St, Blackrock, Co Dublin, we have left a selection of larger DOBAGs as well as a handful of Antique rugs on display until early March. All lots on display there are marked accordingly on our Current Stock listings. This beautiful DOBAG Lotus rug from Yenice village, Yunt Dag, Lot # 8751, has just been sold but for further details click Current Stock, then DOBAGs, and scroll down.

Please look up the article "Where there's a wall..." in Financial Times of Nov 19th, 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", Lot # 8761. For further details on it and other stock, click Current Stock, then Antique Rugs, and scroll down in order of size.

After 30 years of retail trading in Fine Oriental Rugs I now work from home by appointment only, carrying a small stock of top quality Antique pieces and our beloved DOBAGs.

I continue to work as a dealer, auction agent, lecturer, valuer and adviser. Cleaning of good Oriental rugs are undertaken by arrangement. Liz Mansergh continues to undertake restoration work and her contact details can be seen herewith.

Although I no longer have a retail gallery I continue in the pursuit of rare and beautiful antique rugs and weavings. All customers on our database will be told of any future events and if you wish to join that list, please email me your address at lindorient@gmail.com.
