I thought that was his responsibility. After he was done loading his trailer, I asked him about that and he said that I should have been keeping track of things. Who's responsibility is it? And this guy was highly recommended to me.
Are you going to pitch them?
Your responsibility, along with looking up & getting an estimated idea of the value. The Pope comes recommended but cover up of wrong doing took place.
Deb. Could the Persian rug be professionally cleaned to bring it back?
The bottom one (with center medalion) is a very famous design. One exactly like it is in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
When it's a lot cooler. It's probably 130F up there now.
Not a mad face at your post, Deb, just me burning up at the thought of 130° temps!
But at least it's dry, not like the damp cellar. Even so, It's going to take me a while to get the cellar to a point where I can can relax about it. The rugs are now in the driveway getting some much needed sunshine and airing out. I moved them off of the lawn because I feared the rugs would smother the grass or get damp from transpiration.Not a mad face at your post, Deb, just me burning up at the thought of 130° temps!
I'm with you on tolerating dry heat better than heat mixed with high humidity.
Here's hoping for more sales!
Speaking from experience, I love fall garage and yard sales! So much more comfortable than at the height of summer.
Well that's a drag. Boy, do I remember the days of worrying about Christmas expenses. Not fun.
The design name is Arabil and yours appears to be in great condition especially for old Oriental carpets. I'm no expert but it does not look like it is machine made.
If the rug is genuine, it will be bought by a collector and not at a yard sale.
That has all of the characteristics of a machine-made rug, nonetheless a real beauty!
WOW! Thank you for that helpful info! But I think you meant to say Ardabil.
Correct. Thanks. Lazy fingers. So if you were aware of it's design name, then you probably know it's provenance and value, right?
