Re-posting due to the site's upload issue the other day: --- We'd appreciate any analysis, ID, and valuation you could give on the rug in the attached pictures.
• Acquired: This is one of several rugs to us by a wealthy friend of the family, who’s father was an eccentric entrepreneur and world traveler. Their house was full of rugs like this. All she knew was that it was one of what her mother called “the wool persian rugs”. It may have arrived at their house during the 1970’s.
• Location: We are located in the central/northern KY region near Louisville and Cincinnati. The rug itself has been in dry storage for a couple years (rolled up tightly in a tarp). When it was in our friend’s family’s house, it was in a lounge that seemed to get very little traffic.
• Under consideration: We are considering selling the rug. We would prefer to sell locally, or to put out wider ads for someone to pick up from here if they buy it (online, what have you).
I have tried to include at least the photo types as described in the 4 basic Photos guidelines of this forum. There are also pics of the labels that were on the underside of the rug. We can provide further/different pictures if recommended.
Again, sorry for the re-post, but the site was causing difficulties the other day. Thanks for understanding!
