The opening sales of rugs and carpets from the Jim Dixon Collection grossed $1.3 million at Bonhams Skinner in 2022. The latest offerings feature Turkoman, Central Asian, and contemporary woven works. Among the top lots is a contemporary custom Turkish carpet dating from the late 20th or early 21st century. Before coming to auction, this room-sized spread was made for the ballroom of the Ritz-Carlton of Naples, Florida.

Beyond rugs and carpets, this auction also offers a range of woven tapestries and textiles. These range from an Aubusson French tapestry to a 17th-century silk and linen Spanish embroidery piece.

A selection of Japanese kimonos and haori, many of which bear Modernist patterns, round out the offerings.
