Very Large Genuine Persian Rug (Powderhouse Square, Somerville)
Looking for someone who will use and appreciate this very large, old, thick, genuine Persian rug, comfortable for sitting. Bought from Arthur T. Gregorian around 1970 for about $1000. "One of those thick plush pastel-colored Persian rugs that ladies of the mid-century had in their living rooms." 8'7.5" x 18' long. Was sent out for professional cleaning. Looks and feels nice, but has a few damaged areas; one about 10" x 15" at a corner (could easily be covered by a piece of furniture), another about 24" from the side and 86" from the end. In whole rug photos here it looks like there are faded stripes, but these are just products of lighting and uneven surface after unrolling. Photos attached show whole rug, before and after some correction for perspective (had to shoot at an angle to capture this large rug), damaged area at corner, and 2 photos to show location of other damaged area described above. Stored in smoke-free, pet-free home Pick up in Somerville; can also arrange to drop off nearby

Rugs (any size wool/thick) (Salem MA)
Ask: any rugs in good condition (as in not like super moldy, a little stain or something isn’t a stress). If you have thicker ones especially those. Or wool. Or larger ones I could put carpet padding under. Thank you so so much!! Story / more detail!: Hi! We recently moved to a home that’s QUITE a fixer upper and are trying to live in the house while we fix it up. It was the best way for housing when our lease went up and really affording rent these days is impossible! However, buying any home that’s was even a fixer upper is tight as well, yet somehow cheaper then renting. Weve had to move 2x in five months because we couldn’t find housing we could afford so we did a temporary thing and then finally bought the house we are in that is very old, needs a lot of work, and is very very cold because it has no insulation basically. I have chronic illnesses that also add a financial demand, and buying rugs is not something we can swing but as the temps drop it’s showing a severe need for some layer of “insulation” to help it out. I’m willing to drive to you wherever if you have any rugs in good condition you are willing to spare. I got one on here a few years ago that’s my favorite rug of all time, and my mom loved it so much I let her have it. So I figured if anyone possibly did, it would be so amazing and I’d ask! I’ve been scouring marketplace for some too! Thank you so much!!
