How to find cheap Oriental rugs

by: Jessica Allan

You can end up spending thousands to tens of thousands of dollars for a semi-

antique or antique Oriental rug. By following these steps, you will be on the right

track to finding an Oriental rug at a reasonable price.

Below I have outlined five different methods to help you find the perfect Oriental

rug for your home without going broke. These methods may also be less stressful

than having to go to your local dealer who may put the pressure on you to buy

something.



Methods to find discount Oriental rugs

Method One: Craigslist

A great way to find cheap Oriental rugs is to check your local Craigslist. A lot of

the rugs on there are in very good condition and you are able to see the rugs before

you actually purchase them. When meeting someone on Craigslist you should try

to meet in a public place, or just bring a friend.

Method Two: eBay

eBay is another great source for discount Oriental rugs. Here you are not able to

inspect the carpets before you buy them, but you should try to purchase your rug

from someone who has a reasonable return policy. It is difficult to judge an

Oriental rug from pictures online, the colors may be slightly different, or there may

be damage to the rug that you couldn’t find in the photos. In those cases you want

to feel comfortable to return the carpet if it does not work out.

Method Three: Estate Sales

Estate Sales are a great source for vintage and antique Oriental rugs. There are

several websites, including Estatesales.net, which you can use to track down local

sales with rugs. You may want to read through the posts to make sure they do have

rugs at a particular sale. Many of the posts on these websites also include pictures

so you can determine whether it is worth it to go to the sale and look at the rugs.

Method Four: Auctions

Auctions are one of the most exciting places to find antique Oriental rugs. You can

find local auctions by visiting Auctionzip.com or online auctions such as

Maxsold.com. Local auctions allow you to visit the auction house to see the rugs in

person before you bid on them. Several hours before the auction actually begins

the auction house will open up for a Preview.

The preview times are almost always listed on the website you found out about the

auction on. Auctions are unpredictable. You may find rugs going for astronomical

prices, or you may find them going for next to nothing. There is no way to really

tell how much a particular rug will fetch at an auction, so it can be a gamble. If

several people are interested in the same rug, there may be a bidding war and the

rug could sell for far more than it’s worth. There are other cases in which a rug

could sell for far less than it’s worth if only one person is interested in it.

Method Five: Online Oriental rug stores

Last, but not least, is purchasing your rug from an online retailer such as

LesniakOrientalRugs.com. You will find Lesniak Oriental rugs offers antique

Oriental and Persian rugs at the lowest possible prices. They also have a “Make an

Offer” feature. This allows customers to make an offer on a rug that may be listed

out of their price range. Lesniak Rugs wants all of their customers to be able to

afford a beautiful antique or vintage Oriental rug for their home. They also offer

Free Shipping and 14 day returns.
