...seller states,
"It has been professionally cleaned. As I said, it is 125 years old and has been in my family for that length of time. It no longer has fringe and I was told that to replace the fringe would bring down the antique value of the rug. "
...it's also 9x12 and asking 1000...she said it appraised for 5500 in 1992...obviously there is a lot of wear at the center, but i wanted to get everyone's thoughts on this...oh, and i'm saying no way 125 years old, but then again, what do i know... not my favorite, but i do like it...
...actually, is this a sarouk...doesn't seem like it to me...is it a kerman by any chance...she said she's going to get some close-up photos of back and edge later today...
thanks again!
