Eastern
carpets and rugs is a field with vast numbers of suppliers
and an abundance of material. This makes expertise and
discrimination especially important.
The inventory focus is on important carpets from
Persia, India, Turkey, the
Caucasus, Central Asia, East Turkestan
and China.
Works include extremely sophisticated Court production, as
well as primitive village weavings. There are historic
carpets pre 1800 as well as objects of beauty and
originality from the nineteenth century, up until the First
World War.
There is a particular emphasis on large room-sized carpets
that will complement different styles and periods of antique
furniture, as well as others which can be used with
twentieth century furniture and modern or contemporary
art.
Sizes range from 38ft/11.5m to small bedside rugs. Galleries
and runners are a speciality.
