This carpet with the Bokhara design is all wool and is a little over 6' long by 4' wide. It should be around 60 to 80 years old so the seller thought. There is a tag on it as one of the pictures shows. The colour is not what it appears on the pictures unfortunately. In "person" the main colour is a rich dark red/brown and not so red. It is in excellent condition (no worn areas etc.) and is floppy of handle. We paid $1,300. twenty years ago for it. What do you think would be a good price to ask for it now? Any other comments are also appreciated. Thanks
I always end up with some of the pictures opening up in my message rather than appearing as a file attachment. Sorry, I can't seem to fix that . . .

Hi! I have not received any feedback about this carpet so I thought I might draw a comment or two by pointing out that a similar carpet can be found on the cover of the Feb./March 1992 issue of the Oriental Rug Review.
Pls. see: http://www.rugreview.com/bi123.htm

Does that say anything about my carpet? That it is a good one? :)
that it is a copy? :[ or anythring at all?
Thank you for your comments.

Hi,


Your carpet is really about 50-60 years. $ 1,300 twenty years ago --- unfortunately you pay too much. I think now you are with great difficulty get half of that amount.
