I have a beautiful rug that was left with me when a roomate moved out. The wool(?)is so thick I cannot get my fingers through it. It has been professionally cleaned and stored. I would love to know more about this rug and what it maybe worth, so I can move it on to a good home. Also any help on where I can showcase it to be sold, would be greatly appreciated.

As an addition to my post - This rug is 12X9 and has only this very small hole. No fading or stains.
Thank you.

Hi
It’s a Chinese rug very popular in the 1970/80 but now are out of fashion
in England you would be lucky to get £75.00 ($90)

Thank you Nick.
I have seen other rugs with this pattern called Aubusson. Not sure what that means! Is this rug of that style?

Hello - this appears to be a hand knotted early 1980's Chinese 80 line rug with an Aubusson design

For several reasons I do not comment on questions of value on the forum threads.

Thank you, I respect your stand. Any suggestions on how or where I can get another opinion on value?

Thank you for the suggestion. The estimator priced it around $700, Much different than $90.
Should I repost in the Rug Estimator or does it automatically cross post? I am having such a difficult time getting an idea of value on this rug! Any ideas why this might be?

this rug is about the same size but not as good (detailed ) as yours i sold it on eBay in England for £20.00 may be over in the USA it may fetch more but i would be very surprised if you got any where near $700.00 good luck with it

The information provided earlier is pretty good - 1980's Chinese 80 line rug. See what they go for, then figure a used rug should be less than a rug in unused condition, then private party sale is less then retail shop.
