I have never seen one of these closeup. But I would be a bit worried about it not being genuine silk. There is no picture of the back to be able to see the knotting. However, from the front it does not look very fine it is already looking a bit ragged. I would be a bit weary of a company that describes its rugs like they have, which is calling them an investment and that the price goes up year by year. I am also not too sure that it is woven on silk, the fringes appear cotton to me.
