How do you know how old a rug is. Any tag experts out there? There is a tag and I think this belonged to a G-grandparent born in 1906 but have no idea how old this is.

I have so many collectibles from inheritence and hard to know if something is worth keeping or not.

Thanks for all of your help.

Help us close this case. Add your knowledge below.

Tag looks to be a retailers tag. You won't find a makers tag unless it is a machined piece.

Lots of books out there to reference. I used to be familiar with these when I lived in the middle east, but I haven't retained much since I left the region a decade ago.

Ask en expert from a local, respectable auction house to visit you and ask a lot of questions about everything.
