📣 Calling all collectors!

Collectors are at the heart of HALI and everything we stand for. As we look ahead to our 50th anniversary celebrations in October 2027, we want our subscribers, readers and supporters to be part of this milestone. We are calling on collectors to help us uncover remarkable stories held in private collections.
 
While many well-known rugs and textiles have featured in our pages over the last half-century, many more remain in private collections, as yet unseen and unpublished.
 
We invite readers to submit pieces for consideration for inclusion in our celebrations and/or publications. Please send images, along with any notes on provenance or related research, to the HALI team as we develop our plans for October 2027.

Email your submissions to [email protected] 💫
