Any rug experts out there?

Hail, Gentle Readers! Amongst you you have enough erudition to run a small Eastern European country. So I come to you with this: We have 2 matching SILK (or maybe silk blend) Persian rugs, 5 ft x 7 ft, ca. 550 KPI, that we want to sell on CraigsList (or eBay, I suppose, though shipping them would be nightmarish - or is it possible to state that the person who buys them must come pick them up?). Delia bought them ca. 1987 (pre-Ellen!) from the renowned Gregorian Rugs. She can't find the receipt now, but remembers lots of zeros. It would be nice to know roughly how many - and also, just what it is we've got here - I don't even know how to describe it . . . It's "modern," I know that, i.e. not an antique, which makes them less valuable, but they are silk, and very fine workmanship. Also pretty. I have taken many photos.
