Selling Rugs in Bristol — What We Commonly See

Bristol & Somerset Estate Heritage

Bristol's prosperity as a major trading port in the 18th and 19th centuries left a legacy of fine properties in Clifton, Redland, Cotham, and across North Somerset. Country houses and estates throughout the region often contain antique Persian and Oriental rugs acquired during the height of British trade with the East.

We regularly purchase from executors and families across Bristol, Bath, and the wider South West.
