San Francisco Antique Rug Show Round Up

My trip to San Francisco to visit the antique rug show took three days. I drove there from Los Angeles. Weather was nice and I liked the show. It was fun to see some good rugs and kilims, meet few good old friends, learn more about different types of rugs, and chat with rug dealers and collectors. Organizers had done whatever they could to make the show successful and if some exhibitors did not sell or were not totally happy, no one was to blame but the slow market.

I saw a dealer/collector from Los Angeles who was there from Wednesday, two days before the show started and he had hunted what he was looking for. Several of the participants/dealers had bought some items they liked from other exhibitors. The benefit of visiting or exhibiting is not always to sell few items. It is to be there to make contacts and let others know who you are and what you do.

San Francisco Antique Rug Show

Just got here to San Francisco last night around 8:00 pm. I will visit the San Francisco Antique Rug show later today and will have a good pictorial post for you. I liked this photo of the show from one of the pieces on display hanging from a balcony.

Woven flowers and real flowers. Which ones last longer? Which ones do you like to keep?
