As long as the rugs are compatible, I'd do it.

Our master BR is small and I also find it hard to pull the trigger on a really good rug, most of which would be under the bed.

I hope to find a rug that has a consistent pattern throughout, and not some gorgeous medallion in the middle that's never seen.

Good luck with your purchase. I look forward to reading the advice you get. I could use it, too!

Definitely try to negotiate. Ask their lowest price and then turn to walk out. They will stop you I promise. Offer the price you are comfortable with and take it from there. Good luck, let us know what happens.

Do I try it in my room before negotiating? They've offered to bring it here.

No, get the best price you can and then tell them you need to see it in the room before you can make a finial decision.

Also, don't act overly excited!

act very casual and say "I will buy the two of them for (give your lowest offer). I always get my way by choosing one more little rug and no dealer is going to turn down the sale of two rugs. On the other hand, even though the rug is beautiful, I would look for one that is less money and it'sonly seen by the people in the bedroom. Funny incident recently, I went by a rug store on Beacon st. and they had a lovely shoulder purse among the rugs in the window. The stores had bars and you had to ring a bell so my sister and I did so. I was told the purse was 325.00 and I asked the seller if he could ask his boss for a lower price, this went on three times and I used what ever charm I have left. I finally told him I'd pay cash and got it for SEVENTY FIVE DOLLARS. hahahaha a score.

You could try saying I can give you cash but only 2500.00, worth a try.

Yayagal -- wow, what a deal!!!

I don't know if my husband will even want to spend that much, or just get esalerugs rugs. The rug I saw would look great in our family room when we redo it, or also our living room... or dining room...

I was wondering about cash offers. I wasn't sure if that worked for rugs!

I borrowed a rug before negotiating the price, then brought it back. The dealer , seeing that we had the rug in the trunk of our car, brought the price down a great amount, but not less that half the price, as you apparently want.

Well, what kind of rug is it and who sells it? Style, design, age, country of origin, number of knots assuming it's knotted? I'd be very hesitant to spend that much without having any knowledge in Persian rugs.

It's from a reputable dealer here, but is a newer rug (the site says 2016). I forgot to check knots per inch. There's NO way we'd spend more than 2500. We have too many other things to do to finish fixing up this house.
