This is my boy friends shop- who specialises in handmade carpets from Afghanistan and Iran. He’s been trading in Canberra for over 40 years, so has built up a terrific collection. Recently the Canberra War Memorial has bought some ‘wear rugs’ from his collection. He also value and mends rugs. His shop is in near by Fyshwick.
