Following the success of the inaugural virtual HALI Fair in June 2021, HALI Fair Online returns from May 20 - 30, 2022. It is open to view without registration and all events are available on-demand for the duration of the Fair. A select group of the world’s most respected specialist dealers will offer a wide selection of vetted objects from diverse cultures and countries—complete with informative descriptions and details on age and origin—and dealers can be contacted directly for the duration of the Fair by visitors keen to find out more.
HALI Fair Online is focused exclusively on extraordinary antique rugs and textiles from around the world. Free to attend and organized by HALI—the world’s leading magazine on antique rugs and textiles—this is the perfect place to discover unique, collectible, and decorative carpets and textiles this spring. Virtual Exhibitions and Events accompany the online Fair.

Connect with more than twenty of the world’s most prestigious specialist dealers to discover and acquire a wide range of rugs and textiles from around the world dating from antiquity to the 20th century. Exhibitors will be available online during the event to discuss the works on show with visitors to their virtual stands. HALI Fair Online launched in 2021, while travel remained a challenging prospect for many, to not only serve antique rug and textile devotees, but also a global audience with an appreciation of unique antiques, exquisite decorative art, and important handcrafted objects. The first edition was extended from five days to ten owing to its popularity and welcomed visitors from 165 different countries. It enabled collectors, curators, aficionados, and those with a burgeoning interest in the world of antique rugs and textiles to connect with leading international dealers and to find some of the best pieces available on the market, alongside affordable decorative items. The 2022 edition delivers this winning formula once more and, by removing the need for registration, provides an even greater opportunity for more people worldwide to visit.
