What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be an antique Tabriz rug from northwest Persia, around 1890-1910. It is quite difficult to assess the condition from these photos. I assume the fabric is rather fragile and I assume the carpet needs professional cleaning. But after some effort and restoration it could be a real and valuable treasure. The estimate is based on similar rugs offered or sold at auction. "Asking prices" in the trade are usually much higher.

Hello, this was a gift to my husband from a previous employer that was very thankful to him.
He was a CEO and chairman of a Canadian banking giant.
They are multi millionaires.
I can't give much information for this person but the carpet was in a very prestigious home in Palm Beach Florida. The home is worth about 3 million dollars.
They bought a bigger home that is now worth over 10 million and the rug did not match the coloring the interior designer used.
The rug was in the living room with no direct sunlight.
It has been restored and was well kept and also has the padding that goes underneath to protect it.
They also gave him another 2 antique rugs, this is the biggest one of the 3.
I will try and add a couple more pictures too.

Do you know where I could do that?

Try are larger auction house in your area or leave it posted on this site

Joy kirhatzi Sep 06, 12:43 UTC

Should I add a sales price?
Can you recommend any Auction Houses?
I have not done this before so I don't know what to do.
Thank you for your help.

Try are larger auction house in the North East of the USA. Or a rug dealer who has his own restorer at hand. Hope your are successful and good luck!
