I have several large (3m x 4m) monochromatic wool carpets we got 50 years ago in Turkey …

I don’t know what to do with them. It may be a silly question. I’ve spent years wanting to use these carpets, but we have hardwood floors and I want to keep them bare. So although I’ve held onto these a lot of my life I feel like I should let them go.

They’re gold and dark red, thick and dense. They’re still in great condition. We had them cleaned and wrapped many years ago.

What can I even do with them? If I sell them, how can I know what they’re worth? All the carpet I see for sale online is either patterned rugs or cheap new stuff.

Sounds like decent carpet. Can you post a photo or two of the back side of the material and maybe a little bit of the face side?

Thanks for the reply! Here’s front/back of a corner from each —

The hardest part will be finding the right person. The color isn't really "in" for today's market. I'm assuming they weren't cheap to buy initially. The serging doesn't look so good on the lower piece. That would get pretty spendy if it was redone.
Do you recall what you might have paid for them?
