Report from the ongoing Berlin Antique Rugs & Textile Exhibition

The pre-opening of the Berlin Antique Rugs & Textile Exhibition took place Thursday evening 30 May 2013 and was well attended with circa 120 visitors. The fair opened for the public Friday 31 May at 11.00 and the first hours were quite busy for the 25 antique rug and textile dealers.

The quality of the exhibited rugs and textiles is as expected high and the dealers seem quite happy about the professional organisation behind this fair. BARE is organized by Carpet Collector and Tim Steinert and his team are doing an excellent job to keep both visitors and dealers happy.
