"Open" market there.
The sale of old and new carpets covered with fog and is characterized by such concepts as "kidalovo" and "divorce."
You can go to any store, address at the bottom of pages to Ebee, and express their wishes ...
You, if necessary, will be deposed, would be taken in total divorce. Tightly with them there, rather than just.
I guess that old carpets at auction to buy a better, easier there. "

and you think on carpets auctions easier?

The auction, if a sober approach to the analysis of a lot, there are at least 2-3 weeks time to consult among friends, to learn that whisper in the range of potential competitors. Ie is statistically more likely to define more precisely on the subject.
When buying from merchants, so to speak behind the curtain, "public" discussion is difficult, or rather few opportunities /success.
At the auction, due to the absence of a large demand for regular old carpets, final prices are usually lower than the traders.
More or less decent things put up for auction with starting prices anticipated market. A regular, almost from scratch.

Just an interesting story. (EA)
------------------------------------------------
Rudolf Nureyev ".... Hametovich (1938-1993) - a great dancer, a scandalous star reformer of classical ballet, the world of celebrity. Everything connected with the life and art of Rudolf Nureyev, one can learn in detail the various encyclopaedias and art resources.
Nureyev died in 1993 and was buried at the Russian cemetery of Saint Genevieve des Bois, near Paris. And about the same time one of the leading artists of the Paris Opera (Paris Opera) Enzo Frigerio (Ezio Frigerio), friend and fellow dancer, suggested registration graves with oriental carpets. Nureyev collecting antique carpets and textiles in general, ancient different countries, especially loved carpets roamed with him on tour, inspiring stunning new dance and performance.
Sketches of carpet, made Enzo Frigerio, just repeat one of his favorite oriental carpets from the collection of Nureyev. Play carpet in colors, with the visual effect of tissue texture, it was decided with the help of mosaic. Mosaic decided to play and the problem of fine wrinkling drop-down carpet, and a natural form strands of gold fringe. Funds for the creation of the monument identified wealthy friends of the famous ballet dancer.

In 1996, the tomb was made of Italian mosaic workshop Acoma Spazio Mosaic (Akomena Spacio Mosaico). Tombstone is a mixed impression. Someone believes that the grave is too bright, too obvious. Someone, on the contrary, falls into ecstatic rapture. Uninformed tourists looking advance photos of the resulting compositions, often ask whether the carpet becomes wet in the rain and how often to change it. Visitors to the cemetery of Saint Genevieve des Bois with excursions must touch the mosaic rug, just to touch revealing visual deception. But what if someone did not take headstones-carpet tomb of Rudolf Nureyev definitely one of a kind, decent memory and ambiguous genius of the great ballet ...."

".. Surprisingly, for his thousand-year history of carpet weaving technique has not changed much. Of course, if we are talking about the original hand-made carpets, which are also referred to as genuine.
The original carpets are woven only from natural materials - wool and silk, as the basis for using flax, hemp, jute and even silk. The basis of pull on a special wooden frame and hand-woven in her hair. Each thread is fastened by a special bundle. At each knot mistress spends about 2 seconds, the day tying around 10-14 thousand.

The speed of weaving depends on the thickness of yarn and complexity uzora.Ponyatno that the establishment of a silk carpet will require much more time and effort. Another important parameter - the density of the carpet. The most dense carpets - to 1-2,5 million knots per square meter - is woven in Iran. Tibetan, Caucasian, Turkmen carpets are usually less dense - hundreds of thousands of nodes per square meter.
Beyond the usual pile, there are also lint-free carpets - kilims and sumac. Kilims - very light bilateral carpets. Traditionally they were used not only to lay it on the floor, but as tablecloths, curtains, bedspreads. Technique weaving sumac assumes that color yarn braid surrounds basis, and its end is fastened to underside.
A good rug does not wear out with age, but instead acquires a certain nobility. As silk rugs, it is considered that they generally must "mature." To pile crashed into fibers and becomes soft and fluffy, you want to tread on the carpet for several decades.
However, carpets made of pure silk - a rarity. Yes, and they cost several times more expensive than wool. Typically, the silk is added to the wool, to give the carpet shine, or vyvyazyvayut silk thread elements pattern.
And one more detail. Even the most expensive hand-woven carpets may have slight defects and errors in the figure. Sometimes the wizard even consciously admit it, because, as they say in the East, is not mistaken only Allah ....."
