Where to Purchase Your Rugs
Rugs can be one of the best investments you make. When properly cared for, they can sometimes last generations (if you purchase high quality rugs, of course). However, more and more consumers are looking to save money on their rugs by going to online auctions instead of reputable dealers. This can be a mistake, and I'd like to share with you one such story that I heard from one of my clients.
At one leading auction site, a man posted bids for several rugs. Among these rugs was an Oriental piece supposedly worth around $25,000. Thanks to one particular bidder the bidding price skyrocketed to just over $12,000. Unfortunately, the rug was worth no were near that amount. More details of the rugs history showed that it had failed to sale for under $2,500 at a rugs auction in the open market and had been purchased by its current seller for just over $2,100 in London.
The purchaser, in fact, spent at least $10,000 too much and could have probably purchased several rugs of higher quality from a reputable dealer for the same amount of money.
Because of stories like these, I usually recommend that people stick to buying rugs from dealers. It in a perfect world you would purchase rugs only when you could touch and examine them closely so you could determine whether they were of the best quality. Unfortunately, limiting yourself in such a way means you won't have access to many rugs. Using an online dealer who guarantees their products and who is willing to work with customers to meet their needs is a close second choice, at least in my opinion.
Rugs can be a gorgeous addition to any room. They can help establish the room's personality and can even help keep the room warmer – just as rugs did for early settlers and tribe's people. But if you want to be happy with your family's rugs, you must be careful about who you purchase them from.
