and genuine art dealers and art galleries who deal in antique
carpets and rugs exclusively and have profound knowledge
about the various aspects of a good and genuine antique
carpet! They can guide you in selecting the best one as
per your budget and tastes.
Also you’ve got to do a bit of ‘homework’
yourself too! Visit lots of dealers and educate yourself
about dyes, wools, design quality and weaving styles. Touch
rugs and scrutinize them carefully! Beware of machine-made
synthetic carpets that some art dealers spuriously project
as antique carpet!
Some tips for you that will come handy while buying antique
carpets and rugs:
* You have to be careful and thoughtful while analyzing
each piece of antique carpet.
* You also have to try and understand the age and origin
of the carpet that will in turn give you a closer insight
about the quality of the carpet!
* You should also look to see if the edge and end borders
are all there in the antique carpet you intend to buy as
the end and edge borders sometimes are lost through use
or are cut out intentionally! Remember the borders determine
the value of your carpet!
* Watch out for holes and moth attacks that are very common
when you are dealing with antique carpets and rugs! These
problems have to be attended before you buy the carpet!
* Always deal with dealers who have the prices marked on
the rugs! See to it that your dealer sticks to these fixed
prices! Most reputable dealers have fixed and constant prices
and a well-defined policy about discounts.
