ZACH ZAMAN 
Zach grew up with a great respect for the rugs and antiques that his father collected and sold. He was mesmerized by their beautiful hues and patterns and felt a sense of awe by how they were passed down and survived from generation to generation. He was intrigued by the people who wove them and would imagine how the previous owners had lived with them.  Zach has traveled near and far hunting for rugs as well as knowledge about them and is excited to share it with anyone that has interest.

In addition to an undergraduate degree from Boston University's School of Management, Zach has completed programs in Fine & Decorative Art Appraisal from Pratt Institute and Interior Design & Architectural Studies from Parsons School of Design.
