Greetings, Lisa! Shout out to Billy!

A question for you on the rug. Even with the larger size images I cannot really tell for sure whether either side has tufts. Can you comment on that question?

 

@Bakersgma I believe this image shows both sides............with the tufting on the top half......IF I'm correct!!!

Hi Lisa!

Welcome to Antiquers.............

I can't help with your rug, but do want to be remembered to Billy, and say he is missed.

We all hope he is doing OK. Please let us know.

 

Welcome Lisa.

Of course we remember him, and we really miss him. Agree, he is the nicest man ever, I hope he is doing OK.
Please say hello from me too, and tell him we'd love to see him here again.

 

What are tufts ?

I sure will let him know you all miss and love him !

 

He is doing fine, he is not selling as much anymore, he’s started up a handyman business, doing repairs, remodeling and painting homes for mostly senior citizens ! He is keeping real busy lately, he seems happier and making a decent living !!

 

Yes you are correct ! If there is a certain picture that you need, just let me know ?

 

Billy is doing well, has his own handyman business going, He gets most of his work by word-of-mouth , the people that hire him, are mostly senior citizens and they seem to like his work, he is so good at what he does, He’s a perfectionist for sure , all his customer Love him . They are sure keeping him busy !! We don’t see each other, as much as we use to !! But keep in touch by texting !

 

I will for sure, let him know , that you miss and asked about him .

 

I sure will let him know , that he is missed !

 

That is really wonderful news of Billy! I am so happy to hear it and wish him continued success.

Thank you for letting us know..............

 

you give him a poke in the ribs for me too please !!!!!

& please tell him......no matter how busy he is.......he's always welcome here ...just to say hi !!!

 

Can anybody, tell me the origin, and what it is worth ?

 

Sorry but I can’t help beyond guessing Persian.

 

I hope someone will know your rug. I had to pack mine up some years ago when wool moths moved into my house. I was not good at identifying them, many acquired at auctions etc. I do like patterns that lean toward geometric as yours does and would start by looking at Turkish rugs while waiting for knowledgeable folks to show up.

I do not see where you mentioned the size of the rug. That would probably affect the value if it can be assessed.

Please give Billy our best wishes! You really made my day with the news he's doing so well!

 

I don’t know what are tufts ?
