Andreas Siebenhofer is a big lier and thief, he is stealing millions of dollars from Kurdistan government and selling them helicopter parts at inflated prices. He is the most corrupt person In Kurdistan region. He is selling products (He gets from US army as donations) to Kurdistan security forces for high amount of money. Andreas stop before they catch you and send you to Jail.

@FaisalMubaibeen fmubaideen@gmail.com take care he is impostor! He had a contract with my company the 7 Group in Kurdistan and after the payment from 125K$ he disappeared without deliver ever the equipment. If he would return back to Kurdistan he would go direct in jail.

Have you any idea of the price/value of such a piece. I particularly like the first one shown one this page- a complicated pattern. I prefer this to the animals...of course taste is subjective.
How does one insure these?

In 1993 I Purchased two magnificent tapestries of Shams in Agra. The first is 68" by 30" White Peacock and the second is 43" by 76" Peacock, both borderd by precious stones and signed by Shams. The gallery was very reluctant to sell the Large white Peacock tapestry as they mentioned it was one of his major works. Both works are truly masterpieces . I am prepared to offer them for sale and will provide photographs to interested parties. My email is ian.fenton@ymail.com

I recently visited their website www.kohinoorjewellers.com where they have have displayed three embroideries by Shams. They are unbelievable...I can't to visit them again on my next trip to India.

In my home mounted in the wall is a beautiful very large peacock under glass that was purchased (probably from Shams) at the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle,WA USA. It is perfect and has white stones bordering the piece. The size is 64"X 27" (1625 X 686 mm). I can post pictures if there is interest in this piece. Would anyone venture to guess a value for this rare,unknown beautiful work of art signed by Shams. Also, I am sure there is ahistory regarding this work.

Seeing is believing .It is just unbelievable art work by such a great and world renowned artist - Shams. His legacy and art work are still going on through his son Mr Raisuddin ,who is giving a new height every day to this unique artwork .They may be contacted for these art works.
Shams was the creator of this 3-Dimensional art work .His art works are displayed at many places in many countries.

Just finished our 3 weeks tour through India/Nepal. We visited Kohinoor Jewellers in Agra, where Mr. Ghanshyam Mathur us guided in his brandnew shop and embroiderymuseum. I took some beautifull pictures of Miss. Ruchira. I tried to send this pictures, but my email with attachment seems to be undelivrable to kohinoor_jewellers@sancharnet.in and kohinoor_jewel@dataone.in. Could you give me the right adres?
Bente Hoilund 24-Oct-2007 22:44
No, Rosemary - they are not for sale. If they were they would be at roughly 2 mio USD, so ....
Bente Hoilund 24-Oct-2007 22:42
I saw them last week - in the new premises of Kohinoor in Agra. I think, you should also comment on the kilos of precious and semi-precious stones embroidered into these tapestries ...
rosemarie 08-Oct-2007 11:46
