Hi RugPro and other Rug Rats,
I just had to get these photos up of the Animal Rug. This is my favorite even though it is ruined. I would like any opinions or information about the rug, but may well keep it in the house and use it to walk on.
The rug measures about 12 feet by 8 feet 2 inches. I know the rug is more than 50 years old, because I used to study it as a child. If you look at it from the bottom there is a big vase of flowers, and then there is a large bird in each of the upper corners. There are animals being killed on each side. The boarder has anmimals running around it, and a few more being killed.
My mother has always said that this is not such a valuable rug. I have always liked it, and every time I think of her ruining it, it makes me angry. Mom had, and has some problems. She ruined the rug by keeping it in a dirty, dingy bedroom with dirty clothes and dusty boxes all over it. She just wouldn't let anyone talk any sense to her.
What would you guys think? Can you tell where it was made? Could it be named after the area it was made in the Middle East, as some are?
Sincerely,
Bob
