For the past 45 years I have been collecting and selling high-quality oriental rugs and textiles, most of which have been old or antique. For three decades Hazara Gallery, located in the Rockridge district of Oakland, California, has catered to discriminating collectors, decorators, national and international dealers, as well as local clientele who are looking for exceptional pieces with which to furnish their homes and offices. Unfortunately, there are no local auction houses to provide exclusively for those seeking rug and textile opportunities. Therefore, I have decided to attempt to fill this need by creating a single-focused auction venue. Our very first auction will offer some of the finest examples of antique and old woven art available, either in Northern California or anywhere else. It will also include pieces from local collectors who desired to assist by adding a few of their own treasures to help us enlarge the representation of items, and to ensure that all areas of tribal and city rug production would be on offer. At this point I wish to thank my many long-term friends and customers for their enthusiastic support and participation. I especially would like to acknowledge the labor-intensive work carried out by my son, Baback, who worked many hours to ensure that this catalog was completed scrupulously and in a timely fashion. Without his efforts the catalog simply could not have been produced as you see it. Please feel free to call me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this auction.

Under Reza Shah’s 16 years’ rule the roads and Trans-Iranian Railway were built, modern education was introduced and the University of Tehran was established, and the systematic dispatch of Iranian students to Europe was started. Industrialization of the country was stepped up, and the achievements were great. Living conditions for most Iranians improved dramatically. By the mid1930s Reza Shah’s dictatorial style of rule caused dissatisfaction. And in 1935 the country’s name changed from Persia to Iran.
