About the Collection:
Harry Greenberg, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine, hasbeen collecting textiles for 30 years. He started with traditional oriental rugs(both village and tribal), but over the years has put together an eclectic groupof several separate collections. His collection includes Andean textiles (bothpre-Colombian and post-conquest), woven baskets from many cultures,African textiles, central Asian carpets and textiles, Indian Chintz and otherIndian textiles. His primary objective throughout his collecting has been toidentify objects that are both beautiful and uncommon.
