Manchester's Victorian mill-owner wealth, merchant class heritage, and large South Asian community mean some of the finest rugs in the North pass through Greater Manchester. Whether you have a single piece or a full collection, we provide free specialist valuations for Manchester sellers — 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. If you know anything about its origin, age, or how it came into your possession, include that too.
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 Manchester address at no charge.
The industrialists, merchants, and mill owners of the 19th century amassed considerable wealth — and with it, fine Oriental rugs acquired through trade connections. Victorian and Edwardian properties across Altrincham, Didsbury, Hale, Sale, and Salford frequently contain Persian and Caucasian rugs that have remained in families for generations.
We regularly purchase from executors and families across Greater Manchester, including Stockport, Trafford, Bury, and Rochdale.
