I stock old rugs from all the main weaving areas of the world from Europe to China via Morocco, Anatolia, the Caucasus, Persia, Turkmenistan, India and Tibet. If you do not find what you are looking for on this website please email me with dimensions and colour ideas and I will do my best to find you something just right at a very competitive price. I have connections all over the UK and Europe and have a growing reputation as a rug finder and broker, working increasingly with interior decorators and collectors in the field.

After several years working with carpets at international auction houses, latterly as Head of Department of Sotheby's European Rug Department, I established my own business in April 2004, based at home in Kent, South East England, 50 miles from London. I am passionate about the subject, and areas of particular interest include early Ottoman, 18th and 19th century Kurdish, and 19th century South Persian tribal rugs.
