    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.

      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.
