<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Taupou, post: 279786, member: 45&quot;]I agree, it&#039;s worth keeping.&nbsp; Collectors have been looking for rugs from this period, as the older ones have become out of their price range.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A couple years ago, the symbols would have added to the interest in the rug.&nbsp; Now, however, they may have the opposite effect, similar to what happened in the 1930s.&nbsp; Because of the current political situation in the U.S., anything resembling a swastika is a &quot;red flag&quot; in terms of sales.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Our local mall, one of the biggest and best on the West Coast, recently changed their policy to prohibit any items depicting it, even on antique ethnic and tribal art, as a result of escalating negative customer feedback, incidents of physical damages, and threats of violence directed toward the owners and employees which incurred.&nbsp; Dealers were advised to remove items until the current situation changes.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe it&#039;s not indicative of the whole market, but something to be aware of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
