GARDINER COLLECTION is my eclectic collections of life's treasures with a buy and hold mindset. The oriental rugs were purchased as an investment to enjoy and for financial appreciation like a savings account. Now, at 59 years young, having enjoyed many of these rugs for over 30 years, I'm selling, cashing in the oriental rugs savings account. SELLING... 30+ oriental, semi-antique Afghan, Baluch, Bokhara, Caucasian, Kazak, Kilim, Samouk, Shirvan, Teke, Turkoman rugs in varying sizes and conditions. My interests have been the tribal designs, some relatively new may be Pakistan made, some are worthy of restoration, some are slightly worn to be enjoyed 'as is' and a few are very worn prayer rugs. I am not an oriental rug dealer, but a COLLECTOR, having bought what I enjoy with a long term investment perspective for 40 years. OFFERS CONSIDERED...
