I have a large (appx 8x10) oval braided rug made by my great aunt in the 1930's or 40's. It's wool - she used to seek out men's suits at tag sales, because she liked working with the long strips she could cut from trousers and suit coats - and is neutral in color (mostly browns, greys.) It's in good shape - for almost all its life, it has been sitting in low-traffic rooms. There's some wear, and it could probably stand to be cleaned (though it's not dirty per se.)
I can't use it in my home, and would like to sell it if possible, but I have no idea of its value, if there's a demand for this sort of thing, and what to do. I should add that it weighs a ton - the braids are tight, and the fabric strips were rolled before being braided.
I'd appreciate any guidance this group might offer. Thanks.
