I often use John as an
example of the top rung of collectable
dealers. His knowledge, taste, and
expertise is impeccable. I occasionally
disagree with him for instance I totally
disagree with his Tabriz Dragon Rug
theory. However that is a small matter
compared to all the points I agree and
admire John's scholarship on.
