Looks nice... the larger rug (ideal size 8.5 x 6.5m) is for a reading room in a law office so would need to handle a lot of traffic and wear so wool would probably be better. The size can't be too far out either as it's replacing a rug which is already in place (actually larger, they want to go a bit smaller but not too small). The price also limits the number - they're willing to pay a lot of money but for a rug this size it's still restrictive.
The other person is looking for a silk 4.5m x 4.5m (the size isn't likely to be possible so they'd go for 4.5x4 or there-abouts). Again, limited by price for a rug this size and quality.
