There are a lot of variables when it comes to Persian Rugs. Was it hand made or machine made, the type of wool that it was woven with. The richness of the colors and on and on. I do know that a lot of us brought and sent rugs back from Afghanistan because the price was dirt cheap compared to what they were going for here. As a result the prices fell considerably here in the states.

I gave a very good quality 8' X 10' to a friend and I hear she got a whole $650 for it after we broke up. Considering I paid $350 for it, it was still a good profit. The shape is unique and that will either add or detract from the value as there are only so many rooms you can put a rug like that in and have it fit properly and proportionately. I'd contact a shop and have them appraise it for you for insurance purposes. Then you'll have documentation of it's worth when you go to sell it.

It was the Orientals who migrated to Pakistan that made the Persian rug.
Actually the Persian influence covered North Africa to Asia at one time.

You can take the Jap out of the Orient, but you can't Orient out of the Jap.

Weren't you born in Persia? If so that would make you the expert. I thought I saw your B/P in a post a couple of weeks ago.
