Selling Rugs in Leeds — What We Commonly See

Yorkshire Estates & Wool-Trade Heritage

The wealth generated by Yorkshire's wool and textile industries in the 19th century flowed into fine homes across Roundhay, Headingley, Alwoodley, Harrogate, and the Wharfe Valley. Many of those homes still contain Persian and Turkish rugs chosen by families with sophisticated tastes and substantial means.

We regularly purchase from executors and families across Leeds and West Yorkshire, including Bradford, Wakefield, Harrogate, and Ilkley.
