“You know you’re in good hands when Christin Terrell looks at your rug and immediately identifies it as ‘Persian — northern Iran, possibly 1910, no later than 1920.’ Her depth of knowledge and The King’s House attention to detail is remarkable. They do excellent work and it is a pleasure simply to walk into this attractive gallery.”
