Hello everyone! This is my first post here, I'm looking forward to learning more about the many rugs I have and getting an idea of the values. My parents and I lived in Kuwait for a few years when I was a kid and collected over 20 rugs. We just don't have the space for all of them and don't want to keep them in storage, so my hope is to start figuring out their values and decide what to keep and what to sell. I also love learning more about all the stuff we have, so any insight and information is appreciated! I know a bit about them, but not as much as I would like. I'll start with the Qum pair:
(I know we are supposed to upload pictures to this website to post, but I've tried to use the insert image and attach options and nothing happens. I'll link them for now)





Those are the only pictures I can get of the Qum pair, unfortunately there is a cover on the back of the frames, so I can't get to the back to obvserve thread count. Next is what I THINK are a pair of Nain, but I can't remember...







Finally (One of my favorites), here is an Isfahan. I believe it is a Mir Jalali:









I'll start with posting those. Again, I'm interested in assessing the value of these, but just as eager to learn more about them, so please chime in! We purchased most of these almost 20 years ago, so we've forgotten a lot of what were were told about them at the time... Thanks!

To know about value especially something like Qums and fine pieces in general it is important to know how fine they are and also very important to know the size. While one can guess but you have not given any sizes at all. Your Qums, which I assume are all silk and guessing the knot count from the clarity of design and guessing the size is about 200x140 then I think in an auction you would get from $1500 to $2500 each.

As Little Persia has already said your other two are Tabriz and not Nain. Again I think they are similar size to the Qums and the auction price is from $1000 to $2000.

Your Isfehan which is probably a bit bigger is a different thing altogether. It is one of those pieces that can be no show or do quite well. It is a very good piece but I don't think it is a piece that will do well in an auction. I would say about $2000.
