  • I have absolutely no interest in rugs, but this beautiful lady's extensive knowledge on the subject was so interesting that I found myself standing still in the middle of my hallway, staring at my phone when the video ended.
  • In the sixties when we first got our own flat, my mother in-law offered to pay for wall -to-wall carpeting! I was adament I wanted rugs.....far too expensive she had insisted. Over the years, I got my way and now in my eighties I enjoy all my beautiful finds. Keep hunting Rajiv😊
  • Loved the way you interviewed this "rug expert" and dealer. You drew out so much knowledge in this interview. I've lived with oriental rugs for years and have them cleaned about every 10 years.
  • The Rajiv Surendra show, 6/7c on HG tv, make it happen captain.
  • @tuhesse
    Thank you for asking all the great questions. Such a great interviewer! This was so informative.
  • She’s fantastic! I hope she gets a zillion clients from this. Great segment.
  • @sarahp1383
    Crammed with information, and so generously shared by the lady. Fascinating video.
  • Excellent video! I sell rugs as a job and I can say I actually learned something listening to this lady. Thank you Rajiv.
  • Authenticity in materials, craft, and human interaction.
  • I’ve had these same questions for so long. Thank you for covering the life cycle of a hand knotted rug and how to care for them. Also, I now understand the inherent value as compared to a modern rug. One of the best things about watching you, Rajiv, is all the new things I learn ❤
  • I need to get out to Brimfield, it’s been on my bucket list for some time now. I will definitely make my way through the market to find this amazing woman. I would love to buy one or more of her incredibly priced rugs. Thank you Rajiv for yet another great show.
  • @myrradine
    Loved this interview, Rajiv! I own several pieces of antique Persian rugs and never even knew all the differences until this interview, so thank you Kim and Rajiv! ❤
  • okay where is kim when not at the brimfield market? is there a website or a location for the rugs she sells?
  • @br6480
    She has gorgeous rugs and her knowledge about these rugs is fascinating.
  • Those rugs were all gorgeous. Oh, to be able to afford one.
  • Just purchased a beautiful Persian rug from an estate sale. It has some wear, but it's still gorgeous. I needed a large rug (10x13) for a room. I normally couldn't afford one, and they're hard to find for a good price (under $1000). It even has greens in it.
