Travelling back in history, culture and tradition, one would see the magic of Persian weaving and admire the quality and its essential part in house furnishing. In this exceptional sale we will have a selection of important carpets and rugs, in fine quality silk, part silk and soft 'kurk' wool, which are high in demand for the quality, beauty and finesse of design drawing.
