The Spring Islamic Week sale of 'Rugs and Carpets including Distinguished Collections' at Sotheby's in New Bond Street has been brought forward by one day to avoid a clash with Islamic and Orientalist art sales. The sale, now scheduled for the afternoon of Monday 23 April 2018, includes a further twenty historic Turkish village carpets and fragments (and one from Khorasan), from the Christopher Alexander collection, the first tranche of which sold so successfully last November.
For the first time since they were made, 10 tapestries designed by the French artist Jean Lurçat have returned to Aubusson, France, where they were woven between 1957–1966 in the city’s historic workshops
One of the world's most prominent and eminent carpet collectors is remembered by his close friends Brian and Stephanie Morehouse
