RugPro, I read the fine article on this site on the varying worth of Qum rugs. Having read that I have the opportunity, and I believe very rare opportunity, to buy a very, very nice Qum 4X6. A series of events came together to allow me to get rugs I normally couldn't afford to be affordable.

Question, a good quality 4X6 silk Qum rug is worth what? It is my perception that this is an opportunity I can't pass up, but that might only be my perception. I know I will purchasing one rug of a different type, but I'm not sure if I should streach for two. When you mention worth please assume a very high knot count and flawless rugs.

I'm don't know if I'm just a rug aholic or this is also a good investment for the future. I have flipped some rugs so that I don't go too far in the hole.

The first picture isn't the Qum, but another silk 25"X32" interesting rug, that might be another option instead of the Qum

Thank you

RugPro you are a life saver, well at least a wallet saver. In my zeal it's nice to get a much clearer perspective. If I could ask about one more. It is a 10 by 7 and the question is if it is silk. But again thanks for your perspective. I have bought some nice rugs and some dogs when I get too carried away in the moment.

All the pictures except the displayed are the back of the rug

If you don't mind, some more It's a long story, and not just one of those internet story, but from all factors I think this individual has some quality rugs. If you would look at this last one these to see if Im right it would tell me alot. I know I don't have the crucial back side, but again I'm just looking to see if they look like quality. The last one of the man and women is wool.
Again, thank you very much. This one has me scratching my head, and up at night. I want to take advantage of a speical opportunity,but I don't want to be taken advantage of.

RugPro there is a reason I wasn't very specific. The above 10X7 qum went for $300. Unfortuneately, I had a computer cliche and I wasn't able to bid. At that price I didn't want too much info out, and then I lost it anyway. The person selling is a wealthy designed from Miami Beach. That isn't a story I was told, it is a story I know. She had a group of Qum from the same Iranian cliente she used to work with. I was looking for a general comment to see if this look like a quality group of rugs. Like said it was a rare, rare opportunity that I let get by.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a community here where we could rely on each other not to go behind each other's backs and bid on stuff we talk about in the "Lab" here? Well, you can count on me. I wouldn't be able to look at myself in the mirror if I rulled that kind of stunt.

Lol, I have to say I don't disagree with Krow.>>>

Of course not, and who would? Krow speaks at all times and all circumstances from a perfect place of impeccable wisdom and omnipotence.

RugPro, I seriously had no idea this rug would go for $300. that is why I mentioned $2,000. That is the figure I was concerned with which ripples woudl matterand that is the max I was going to spend. My intent was to get some information, but also to ask a questiion which would be helpful to the forum. I had been told that the Qum was the one rug that was actually increasing in price
I won't post such an item again, but also in my defense, if there need to be a defense I earlier had sent a message to you by the email emblem as the bottom of each post.
Does that work? I know it only allows for several words
Also I had no problem thinking that someone who posts here would run to grab the rug. My concern was the number of "viewers" which really are the core of the forum, and that one by chance might see something and run.
