Collector's Guide to Persian Carpets and Antique Rugs

At times these various qualities of condition, age, and rarity affect one another mutually, and collectors must decide which of them they are willing prize at the expense of the other. One may demand excellent condition for rugs a century or so old, but as one moves in older pieces, good condition becomes increasingly rare, and many rare, very early pieces may prove to be in no better than fair condition. Indeed, a compromised or damaged condition becomes increasingly acceptable for very old or early pieces. Antique rugs in good condition, tend to be younger, and they are also less rare. Collectors must become familiar with the range of options and they must learn to establish priorities.
