Mohammed Zavvar has been collecting and deaing in oriental rugs and textiles for 45 years, running the Hazara Gallery in Oakland, California for three decades. Noticing a significant gap in the area’s saleroom market, Zavvar comments “I have decided to attempt to fill this need by creating a single-focussed auction venue”.
