*Message was: Dear Gar I appreciate your concern about Benlian Tabriz. I start asking from friend of mine Barry O’Connell. He is an expert in oriental rugs. The following information comes from his email to me: Barry O’Connell: “As best I can tell he was an Armenian who lived in England (The Orchard, 55 Arthur Rd, Wimbledon, London SW19). He died somewhere around 1973 and there was an estate auction after his death by Phillips, Son & Neale of London, England. Apparently his company produced rugs in Tabriz from the 1920s on. His master weaver for many years was Javan Amir Kizi. Benlian represent the top tier of 20th century Tabriz production and the rugs are now old enough to start showing up in the auctions. Phillips, Woolley & Wallis and Sotheby’s are have mentioned Benlian in their catalogues.” If you need more information please feel free to contact me. http://www.spongobongo.com/her9774.htm Thank You Afshin Nejad
