Hi! Could anybody please identify my wool rug for me? I just bought it from a charity shop. I'm not sure if it's Morrocan or Afghan or what - I'm not very savvy when it comes to rugs. I just fell in love with its' beautiful colours and lovely weaving. There's no label on it anywhere and the lady at the shop couldn't shed any light. It measures 200cms length x 160cms width not including the tassels. The pile is short and very soft and the pattern is also on the reverse in very bold colours. Down the length sides run flatweave in alternating red and green bars and on the widths between the tassels and the piled rug are green/red patterned flatweave. The only damage I can see is one of the green flat bars on the side is frayed - the rest of the rug looks immaculate barring age/wear to some of the tassels. The chances are I've just spent a small fortune on a machine-made cheap rug but at least the money went to a very humanitarian cause :)
Being as I'm new here and don't use forums much I don't know how to add my images. Could anybody help me in this regard? I'd really appreciate if somebody could take 2 minutes for me. Many thanks in advance.
Simon :)

There should be a button to attach images which takes you to a different page where you can browse and attach then back to the post page to post. Otherwise, and easier for people who aren't used to it, is to put pictures up on flickr or something like that and just post a link to the images online.
