Douglas and Helen Stock have operated a gallery in Wellesley, Massachusetts (12 miles west of Boston) since 1987. Prior to that, they had a very small gallery on Newbury St. in Boston. Since D.B Stock's founding in 1985, Helen and Douglas have sought to work closely with their national clientele in the furnishing of fine homes with exceptional carpets and the building of outstanding antique carpet collections.

    Helen and Douglas have written articles or been quoted in various antique related publications. Over the course of the last two decades, the Stocks have exhibited at many of the United States' premier antiques shows. In addition to operating their gallery, the Stocks still exhibit at the Delaware Antiques Show (a benefit for Winterthur Museum), the Wilton, CT. Historical Society Antiques Show, The American Conference on Oriental rugs and the International Conference on Oriental Carpets. The Stocks have spoken several times at the Textile Museum.
