All our Rugs Are Old and Antique not the usual Ebay Miss Described Modern Copies. Many are Over 100 years Old, so they show the signs of this age as rugs are made to walk on. We can not describe every mark of use. We provide a picture of the entire rug and it is up to you to assess its condition from our pictures. Do not bid unless you are happy with what you see and expect every rug to show signs of its Age. They are sold as is.
If you want a rug in perfect condition buy a new copy from one of the Persian Rug dealers and do not bother even looking at ours.
A NOTE ON PHOTOS
We try to take photos which reproduce the colours of the rug as close as possible. As is obvious none are taken in a studio. We have tried to provide a few different tones and extremes and the actual colours are somewhere in between.
