I first fell in love with the beauty of tribal carpets some 30 years ago when I was living in Saudi Arabia. Since then, I have accumulated a very large collection and fully intended to become a dealer when I retired. Hovever, due to a back injury I can no longer get down on the floor to roll carpets!  In order to share my treasures with other people with similar tastes, I created this website.  I especially treasure tribal carpets with intricate designs, beautiful workmanship, and use of colors. 

The carpets below represent only a small selection of my collection. Click on the thumbnails below to see larger photos and a narrative describing the origin, design, size, estimated age, construction methods and condition of the each carpet.  I should note, however, that the definition of the origin and age of a carpet is an inexact science at best.   If anyone has a question, a a correction,  or requests for more details on a particular carpet,  please feel free to send me an e-Mail.  Please note that offers on any carpet in the collection will be seriously considered!
