Everything about my experience was good.
I would be happy to acquire other artworks from Fine Rugs NY and use LiveAuctioneers.

The carpet is beautiful and exactly as advertised! We couldn’t be happier with the service provided either. Thank you.

Inaccurate photos displayed on Live Auctioneers
1stBid had many photos while Live Auctioneers only displayed one which was the least accurate. The color of the rug was accurately described as crimson but the photos showed a vibrant red with light brown accents. In person, the rug is crimson with predominately gray and some brown accents around the border. No checkerboard pattern and diamond dots in the field. I almost thought they sent the wrong rug until I measured and reviewed the description. Fortunately, I didn't pay much and plan to donate it,

Communications were a nightmare
Communications were unnecessarily complicated, payment process was not simple.
