Rug prices

American-made hooked fabrics in either modern or period design are of a very good quality and correspondingly expen­sive. The average retail price in 1945 was around sixty dollars a square yard.

American and Canadian hooked rugs of the traditional type are about twice as expensive as the Chinese, and the rare and handsome old ones of course are very high.

They are priced according to size, condition, the fineness of hooking and beauty of design and color.

Prices range all the way from seven dollars and fifty cents for a small and probably homely mat to several thousand dollars for a fine elaborate floral.
