Pro.....I mean the rug which generated my first and interinable post, The war and Peach post!!!!! I uploaded pics; you said it is hand knotted, I can ow see it is, probably a Sarouk.....and instead of throwing it out I should try to seel it for even $500. tho I noticed it has some fring isue in one area.
If you like and WHY WOULD you?...I can upload the pics again. BIG rug, dk navy field. wheat thingies and sprays, center medallion, the border isn't dusguating. I think I came upon it on 11 or 12 (when U hunt, you must be barefoot and in stealth mode and run up and down the service stairwell where the service elevator is; we have another, stairwell B). It was folded and rolled nicely......my LR floor was newly and tragiclally bare... it took me a while to drag it down to 6. Heavy....like mine was.
Is it coming back yet? If Not, LUCKY YOU!!!!
i put up some jpegs again....Mr. Glutton for Punishment, lol. Tho just my understanding of this deeply unattractive thing....burgeons every day!!!!! I MEAN IT!!! The more I learn, the more rug stuff I do, the more I experience.....the more I SEE! Including, retroactively. It's kinda fabulous......I think it is how we are engineered.
And the wool test is not primitive. Scientific and high tech, sophisitcaed ....like Western diagnostic tools in medicine.....are very often trumped by this kinda "primitive." If you live on tis level of "primitive' you do ot need to waste time on that which the more unplugged are relegated to!!!!
