Liverpool's position as one of Britain's greatest trading ports brought wealth and global connections to Merseyside. The grand properties of Sefton Park, Mossley Hill, Woolton, and the Wirral frequently contain fine Oriental rugs accumulated by shipping magnates and merchants across the 19th and early 20th centuries. Whether you have a single piece or a full collection, we provide free specialist valuations — online, with no appointment needed.
Take three clear photos in natural light: the full front face, the reverse showing the knots, and a close-up of the pile or any damage. Note the dimensions and any known history of the piece.
Upload your photos through our secure quote form — takes about five minutes. No need to visit a saleroom or wait for an appointment.
We respond within 48 hours with a written assessment. If we make an offer and you accept, we arrange collection from your Liverpool address at no charge.
As one of Britain's busiest trading ports throughout the 19th century, Liverpool attracted wealth from global commerce. Shipping merchants and industrialists built grand Victorian villas in Sefton Park, Mossley Hill, and the Wirral — many of which still contain fine antique rugs brought back or purchased as status symbols.
We regularly purchase from executors and families across Merseyside, the Wirral, and into Cheshire.
