I just bought my first Priscilla Turner rug at an auction. Would appreciate any information you can give me. How many rugs do you currently have?

I know that it has been awhile since this topic was posted, but I am also looking for information about Priscilla Turner rugs. I recently purchased a rug on EBAY that is supposedly a Priscilla Turner rug. I would appreciate any information about the company and/or the value of its rugs. Mine is 6X9 feet, oval, floral with medallion, in mint condition. Thanks.

Judy,

I know you posted this message years ago, but I have some Pricilla Turner rugs I am looking to see. Would you be interested?

Oh my goodness! I have so many of those rugs now. I need another one like a hole in the head! What have you got? Anything 8.5 x 11 or larger? Any long runners? Any small ones that are mostly blue?
