Absolutely! When I added a dining room to my house, I wanted a Persian rug under the table to soften the look of the limestone floors. I bought a 12" X 8" Iranian Nain rug (silk/wool/cotton) for $600! I love it. It got mine from the same importer on EBay. I HIGHLY recommend it. A rug collector would likely thumb his nose at my $600 persian, but it works for me.
The oil paintings on the wall are also from EBay. Beautiful original oils. $65/each.
