Sarasota, Florida, United States
I have been in the Oriental Rug business for 53 years, since 1969. I began my career in Cincinnati, Ohio working for Richard Markarian Oriental Rugs, one of the most respected names in the oriental rug community. I was fortunate to learn my trade from an old master. I deal strictly in handmade, one of a kind oriental rugs. I do not deal in mass produced rugs. I specialize in Antique Peking Chinese Rugs, Art Deco Chinese Rugs, Caucasian, Turkish, and Persian Carpets as well as Antique Rugs from East Turkestan and India. I travel all over the world to handpick the rugs I sell. You will see rugs on my site that are 'as good' or 'better' in design, age, and quality than in any collection, store or auction gallery in the world. If I put a name or age on a rug you can be sure it will be just that. Many of my rugs can be considered investment quality pieces. I have established a good reputation. Most dealers worldwide know me by name.As for my business ethics...they are simple...If you buy a rug and you don't like it for any reason, after a three day inspection period, return it for a prompt 100% refund. I have a gallery in Sarasota Florida open by appointment. I look forward to meeting you and I'm always available to answer questions about my rugs or to offer suggestions about other resources. https://antiqueorientalrugs.com/
