New Books and a Hali Sale


We have become overstocked in gently used Hali Magazines, the premier carpet and textile periodical. Over 80 issues are now 1/3 off our already discounted prices. Here is a chance to fill in the gaps in your collection or introduce the magazine to a friend.

Along with 40 other dealers in antique Oriental rug and textile art we will again be exhibiting at the 2nd Annual Antique Rug and Textile Show from October 12-17 at the Motel Capri in San Francisco's Marina District. Mark your calendars!
