Hi. I was hoping to have some rugs identified/valued. I clear out houses for the trust department of a small local bank, and sell items so the money can go back into the trusts or estates as the case may be. I've currently come across a couple rugs that have tags, mostly illegible, that say they were registered and cleaned in the 50's. I would like to be sure of their value before I sell them because in this case the money will go to the Red Cross and ASPCA primarily, and I would hate to undervalue them when they go to a good cause. Thanks in advance and let me know if any more pics or info is needed.

The first one looks like a fine lilihan around 1940. Second looks like a 1940/early 50's Kerman. The next looks like a lilihan from 1930. Last looks like a fine lilihan circa 1900.

Excellent. Thank you so much. Is it bad form to ask for an approximate value?

The forum is an okay place to get general information - but we always recommend you have someone local take a look who can see the rugs in person. However, if you provide sizes of each rug and an overview of condition you may get some feedback on value.

Understandable. I will measure tomorrow and report back. Should have done that in the first place, but I'm new to this. Thanks again!
