Hi,

from the estate of a relative I have received a collection of 15 rugs. He started collecting back in the late 1930s or early 1940s. I'm a total greenhorn and as most of the rugs seem to be in pretty bad condition I'm asking myself what to do: Keep the rugs or trash them? Are they worth anything? They are currently stored in a garage and I'm in a lack of space. 2 days ago I had some time to vacuum clean them and I used the opportunity to take some photographs.

As I'm from Europe the sizes in the pictures are in centimetres.

Thank you very much!

A mixture of Pakistani Bukhara, Turkish, and Persian Sarab, Shahsavan, Balutch,... rugs all of commercial grade and from looking at the pictures, almost all of them with a worn pile. I would recommend you keep the ones that still have a decent pile and see if you can offer the rest as a package to someone locally. Reduce the price so you can sell them all.
