It is a huge 12 x 17' wool hand knotted oriental rug. It is used and needs to be lightly cleaned .. but it is really really beautiful!
It has just a touch of red... and I believe it will go nicely with my Mothers 2 wing backed chairs (currently in storage) .. and all to be used in the library / study.
When I purchased this rug and measured it, I had to call our architect to tell him to increase the size of the study by a few feet... just to the rug will fit! The original purchase ticket was still on the back of the run and it said .... $10,000.00Want to know what I paid for it?
Are you ready?
Are you sure?
Hold on to your seat....
I paid $250.00 for it!

WOW - that's fantastic! And I have to tell you, I certainly like it because I swear that is virtually the exact same pattern I have on the rug in the dining room, which my mom gave to me. Ours has a dark blue border instead of red, though. Mom bought it to go in my childhood DR and I bet she did pay many thousands. I am lucky to have it, needless to say!
most excellent score
Not just a deal; a steal!
WOW! Don't you love it!!!!
When I found the online listing of estate.com I thought I'd died and gone to heaven. Bargains, beautiful homes, and best of all there is a provenience that I find pleasing. Some other person has chosen, lived with, and now is passing on something beautiful and useful thus giving it a new life. Good going on that rug, $250 thats just great. Ann
