Tibet, 20th Century, Wool pile, 157.5 x 94 cm (62 x 37 in.), Anonymous

The Hajji Baba Club is the oldest organization in America devoted to the study
of oriental carpets and antique textiles. Founded in New York City in 1932, its
original members included many collectors whose carpets and textiles now form
principal holdings at several of our country’s major museums. Prominent
collectors and textile scholars continue to be part of the HBC membership today,
along with many other enthusiasts.

The club’s monthly meetings offer an opportunity to learn about antique textiles
from lectures and presentations. Our customary in-person monthly meetings moved
to virtual meetings via the Zoom platform in 2020. Our current schedule includes
both in-person sessions and zoom presentations which are recorded and available
to members.

The HBC sponsors research into the history of carpets and other textiles, and
has funded both exhibitions and publications in the field. The club also
organizes trips to both public institutions and private homes so that its
membership can have an insider’s view of textiles not usually on display. The
Hajji Baba Club accepts new members and welcomes anyone interested.
