I'm a private collector in Massachusetts. My collection is eclectic, but tends to focus on mafrash, Kurd (particularly Jaff), Baluch, and Yomud. Given that I have a couple of fur balls (pictured), I'm generally interested in items that can be hung from the ceiling or walls, rather than expensive items for the floor. At the moment, I'm selling off items from earlier in my collecting career, as I'm looking to upgrade my collection and my tastes have shifted. Therefore, I'm certainly interested in rug trades to accomplish this; contact me if you're interested.
