persian rug with camels and arabic people design value?
Looking for info on rugs safavieh, home dynamix rugs, oriental area rug, gabbeh persian rugs and more?
i have a persian rug with camels and arabic people on it along with a building and they are underneath a starry sky. the colors are not very bright some dark blue and tan with a blue trim. it is most likely before the 1940s probably 1930s before Persia was called Iran and Iraq. How much could it be worth?? No rips except a tiny one in corner? any idea? thanks
Here is a site that will help you determine an approximate value of your rug.

50 Euro….max
Since you have not said what material it’s made of or how large it is, whether it is clean or dirty, worn or not worn or where it was made since there were a lot of US made copies in that era, it is not possible for someone to answer this. If you are near a major city you can find a dealer there who can give you an idea. For an exact amount you may need to pay for an appraisal. the tear is going to lessen value by about 25%. Be sure the appraiser is accredited.

Iranians never make a rug with Arabs on it.
