Antique Rug & Textile Show 2010


From Ben Banayan of Rugrabbit fame and chief organizer of the show:

Hello, everyone. Here is a preliminary schedule of ARTS events for San Francisco Rug Week , October 2010 ...

Exhibition of Chinese Pile Squares: co-sponsored by the San Francisco Bay Area Rug Society, Motel Capri October 12- 17 from 10am - 6pm

Rug & Textile Evening at the De Young Museum: a joint fund-raiser organized by ARTAA and the museum’s Department of Textile Arts. Come see selections from the department’s holdings that are seldom exhibited! Friday evening, October 15. (exact time TBA)

The ‘Bargains Under $500 Room’ (suite 206 at the Capri) will be in operation from 10am - 6pm each day during ARTS. The room will be comprised of pieces contributed by all of the show’s dealers priced under $500. This should present some wonderful opportunities for beginning collectors as well as some real deals for more advanced collectors.

Free Appraisal Day and Evening: Come and receive a free expert appraisal for your antique Oriental rugs and ethnographic textiles! Wednesday evening October 13 from 5pm- 7pm and Sunday October 17 from 11am - 3pm at the Capri, suite 206.
