$300obo
I have no space suitable for displaying this hand made tribal rug (circa 1900-1920) from the area know as Azerbaijan today. It has natural dyes, with an orange tone that appears to be from a chemical dye source, hence the post trade route establishment dating/age.
I contacted 3 BayArea dealers to obtain an estimate of its value. I was quoted anywhere from $800-$1500 because it has some damage (shown) from use and advise it would be best sold to an end user for their private use/collection. I decided to lower my selling price and let the new owner seek repair and cleaning services if desired.
It looks much better in person. The choice of colors and simple design suggest it was made for personal use and not for export to Europe along the trade route.
These pictures really do it no justice. It’s amazing and really pops in person. I’ll try and take some better pictures soon.
