Lyon & Turnbull have developed a strong reputation for the sale of Tapestries & Textiles, both through our Scottish auction house in Edinburgh and via live online auctions. Our specialists are knowledgeable, not only about textiles and tapestries, but also the current marketplace, an essential combination that leads to successful sales of fine tapestries and hand-woven textiles from regions such as Turkey, the Caucasus, Tabriz and across the Middle East and Asia.
