I was given a 8ft 8 in x 12 ft 2 in persian rug that is in superb condition. It is authentic, but can not find out how much it is worth. I know that it cost 2,000 dollars 30 plus yrs ago, but am clueless on what it would go for these days. Could anyone give me some advice on how to find it's worth. I was given it a couple yrs ago by a family member who had passed away, it was left to me in their will. I dont like the color or style, Im into more modern stuff and I am looking to sell it. Someone please help, I am desperate and dont want to get ripped off, or name the wrong price and come to find out later that its far more pricier that I originally thought.
This site has a rug estimator which will give you a price on your rug. You can also check our their forums or ask the site owner directly. I have been following their site for a while now, and he/she always has posts with people in your exact position. I would suggest sending some photos and they can accurately price it out. Best of luck!
the economy is doing crappy you will not get even close to whats its worth since no one is spending $ frivolously everyone is looking for the bargain/deal hold on to it until the recession is over and people are willing to spend $ again
have it appraised by an antique dealer.
