2013.10.16 Chappaqua Family Collection
The Chappaqua Family Collection is a trove of more than 100 rugs from the Second Golden Age of Persian Weaving (ca. 1800 to ca. 1910).  This privately-held and assembled collection was acquired from the estate of a prominent East Coast family which had residences in Manhattan, Chappaqua, NY, and on the coast of Maine.  It was assembed primarily in the mid-20th century and consists of pieces dating to the early 1800s.  It is widely-considered one of the three most important private collections of first-calibre rugs to come to market in the 21st century.
