Hugh Rance

I'm a sculptor and teacher of flute and sax for the county music school in Cork, Ireland with a background in archaeology and a passion for antique kilims, tribal rugs, world culture and mythology. I enjoy traveling off the beaten track to find interesting pieces. I run a part-time business selling rugs at two local markets in West Cork, Ireland (weather permitting!) and online. I have over 600+ and 100% positive feedback on ebay and have an ebay shop: http://stores.ebay.com/TRIBAL-RUGS-AND-KILIMS

I am not an expert and welcome any constructive suggestions on the pieces that I list here or on my own websites: www.kilim.ie and www.tribal-art.org as I consider the whole process an enjoyable learning experience.
