What Should You Do with an Old Rug?

If you are moving and no longer have the space for your oriental rug, or if you have decided you just don't want your rug anymore, do not just leave it on the street for the next garbage pick-up.  Oriental rugs are a work of art, bring your rug to be appraised.  At Main Street Oriental Rugs, we are more than happy to look at your rug and appraise it for you.

If your rug is really dirty, don't get an appraisal until after it has been cleaned.  A dirty, old rug is just a dirty, old rug.  A common belief about rugs is the older the rug, the more valuable it will be.  This is not necessarily true.  If your rug is post WWII, it really just depends on the rug.  Either way, it is a good idea to get your rug professionally cleaned before getting it appraised.
