Selling Rugs in Liverpool — What We Commonly See

Liverpool's Shipping & Merchant Heritage

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.
