130 New Rug and Textile Books

This past month we were able to acquire two major collections and whether your interests lie in Pre-Columbian textiles or Classical Persian carpets we have something for everyone on this list. We are even offering a pamphlet featuring an inscribed textile woven in an insane asylum!

The San Francisco Antique Rug and Textile Show is gaining steam and even adding a few new dealers as well as off-site exhibitions tied to the show. We are also pleased to be representing Jozan, one of the premier online sites dedicated to Oriental rugs and world textiles.
