 The
availability, or rather the lack of availability of similar types, formats, design and
weaving-styles of certain rugs increase their desirability as collectibles.Usually, the
value of rugs in terms of how well they represent the cultural traditions of the countries
where they were woven is also an important factor. Too often, rugs are are now made
according to dictates of the fashions or the current fads in the market rather than the
true traditions of rug-weaving societies.Many collectors of Oriental Rugs tend to avoid
the commercial aspect of many fine Oriental Rugs. But, in the end, the collectibility. of
an Oriental Rug, for the lack of common consensus on this issue, still depends largely on
the buyer's individual preference! |
