Basil Scaljon Rugs

Basil Scaljon Rugs Rug consultations, buyer and seller of old rugs. I maintain a small but excellent inventory of choice pieces. Looking forward to working with you.

I believe passionately that certain rugs and carpets are legitimate art expressions and search for good rugs that approach that standard. Without the burden of a retail operation and working with my large number of contacts and "pickers" I am able to offer my clients excellent buying opportunities on the entire range of the rug market from the most modest Hamadan to the most beautiful large antiq

My website has had a facelift--click to take a look. I've added videos and a section for my new Rug Fragments as Art. Let me know what you think!
