Selecting an antique Persian rug
Karastan rugs is a name which is known
for its high quality and beauty.
Whether you are a collector of fine art or someone who wants
an extravagant piece for your home, an antique Persian rug
is a sensible investment.
The first thing you must decide is what is your budget?
The reason is prices can range from two thousand dollars to
two million dollars. Obviously you won’t be putting a
$2million rug on your dinning room floor.
But what I am saying is think about what you want to use it
for.
Consider these questions when deciding:
Is it going to be a
center
piece of an art collection?
Consider the type of collection you have and how a certain
time period could add value to your collection. If you are
looking for a classic piece then around the 1800’s should be
your cut off point. Make sure you research what particular
weave and structure was present in the era you are
interested in, this will help you identify quality pieces.
Will it be the focus of a dinning or living room?
If this is the case then a newer 20th century rug
would be ideal, it will need to be fairly young and durable.
So I recommend you look for a tightly woven rug, this will
withstand people walking on it, and the occasional spill.
What kind of design do you want?
There are so many designs out there you must decide what
will complement your home, office, or living space. What is
important is you decide whether to go for a classic style or
and unusual piece.
Classic well known rugs are easy to collect and find, any
enthusiast can build up a collection from scratch.
Going for unusual rugs takes a lot of knowledge and skill to
identify quality genuine works of art. But going down this
route can be rewarding and produce a collection that no one
else has.
Starting your research on the internet is a time saving and
good way to finding your ideal Persian rug.
