A Chronic Collector of Asian Antiques Carpets and Other Collectible Stuff

I am an incurable collector. I've always been this way. This site to to help me show some of what I have so that I can learn about, sell, and refine my collection.

I prefer to collect things that have not been extensively repaired, repainted, or over-polished. Polish, coating, and extensive repairs make it very difficult to authenticate something. So, except when indicated, the items on this site are original and without major repair unless the structure of the item was in jeopardy. Many collectors, especially those who collect Chinese furniture, prefer the patina, tea stains, cracks, and imperfections that contribute to the history of an object. I am one of those collectors. So if something seems a bit worn, that is how I found it when bought it from the original owner or seller.

If you are interested purchasing, or in learning more about, or commenting on anything in my collection, please contact me at the email address in that blue footer box on the bottom of this page. I am happy to send photos of items of interest. But, please note that all material here is copyrighted © and can be only used with my permission.

Please note: the photos and text of this site are slowly being upgraded. Please excuse the quality of some of the content.
