The most wonderful things you could walk on
Article Abstract:
Carpets are affected by fashions which influence collectors and so the price they are sold for. Very old and high-quality carpets may retain their value, while less valuable items are more likely to be affected by fashion. Collectors should buy carpets that they like rather than trying to make a profit.

Article Abstract:
