Hello,

I was a former admin. assistant at Gallery 10, Inc., here in Scottsdale,
AZ. This gallery may be a good resource to find out further information and
appraisal value (they may even want to purchase it). Contact Phil Cohen,
Owner/Director of Gallery 10, Inc.. The Scottsdale gallery number is (602)
488-1292. They are also located in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He will be a great
help to you! Let him know that I referred him to you.

> I have been asked by a very old lady to forward this to the museum-l
list:
>
> She owns a woolen "Navajo rug" with natural dies in grey, red and black,
which
> was brought to Europe by her son in 1919. During the war her son was
travelling
> in the states visiting also some trade posts. The rug is in good
condition,
> about 80 x 200 cm. Does anyone know something about the value of such a
piece?
> The already took it to Sotheby`s but here in Europe there was nobody
being able
> to tell her anything on the value. I checked several books for her on
market
> prices of these Navajo rugs, but there were big differences and no way to
fix a
> price, (f.e.: between 10.000 and 20.000 $).
> She does not intend to sell it, it seems to be a question a equality of
values
> someday to be distributed to her daughters.

> Thanks in advance
