Area rugs are now viewed as one of the most highly regarded collections. Area rug collectors are growing in number and with the increasing fan base these floor decors have because of their quality, beauty and adaptability as a decorative item, it will be no surprise if there will be more area rug collectors in the future. Collecting anything does require dedication. As a collector, you should exert effort to find the best deals and work hard to take care of your collection. You should be knowledgeable to differentiate what's valuable from not and what things to look out for. Collectors are like Sherlock Holmes - they investigate, snoop around and try to get to the bottom of the real deal.
As a collector, you must know not just the basics but the essential information on area rugs - the types, designs, rates, fabrics, etc. As you go around your hunting expeditions, you must have the important notes with you as your guidelines. Money should also be generously spared for buying your area rugs collection. A lot of rugs are not cheap. Some are actually as expensive as artworks.
Area rug collectors hover over numerous home decoration and interior design magazines and even newspaper sections looking for any information detailing anything about area rugs. This information is stored up as treasures of anticipated acquisitions. The next important thing that such collectors do is to make a detailed collectibles list for all available types of rugs and those in market demand, their manufacturers and design specifications.
This information is stored in little business cards that are easily tucked in a trousers or skirt pocket when the collector is going to an auction. The key notes are the description, size, available colors and current market value. Information about rugs should be summarized in details that are focused on identity, demand and value. An amateur antique rug collector must also make adequate room for these antiques and or collectibles in advance of acquisition. If the antiques rugs are large, he or she should make sure that he or she has a place to store them without causing damage to them.
Collectors are also after their money's worth. It's not necessarily based on the quantity but on the quality, the total value. Few valuable items are better than a lot of rubbish ones.
As a collector, you are not required to hoard and compete in number. Collections are all about the worth of the objects. It's about being a rare find, one with an amazing story or rich in history. Finally, being a collector is all about you. What may be trash for others may be treasures for you and vice-versa. Collect rugs that you personally like. Making it grow will always be an enjoyable venture because you love what you are doing. - 29975
