Patrick –
Rug shopping with Ali was a great experience, his knowledge and connections were invaluable and made my rug shopping experience very enjoyable. He started the experience with a great lesson on Turkish and Persian rugs. Their history, what to look for, and then a discussion about what I was looking for. He was very flexible to my needs and willing to take me to as many places as necessary. I ended up buying a rug from the first place we stopped, but not until visiting another shop and I was comfortable with what I was getting. The place I bought from is a wholesaler that I would not have had access to on my own and ended up saving lots of money. Smaller rugs in the grand bazar of unknown quality were nearly 2-3x what I paid.
