The link doesn't work anymore, but I thought I'd chime in with some info that might be related to what I think must have been in the link.
A while ago, and in rare cases, rug manufacturers would make just a corner of a rug in order to give an example of color, style and weave to prospective buyers (usually in Heriz). Sometimes this was referred to as a sampler. The market for samplers is not all that great because you can't really tell if the rug was woven as a sampler from the start or if it was cut down from a larger rug that was damaged.
In order to capitalize on the novelty of this idea, some rug sellers have cannibalized old, damaged rugs and created a rug consisting of four separate rug corners. It looks cool and can work with an interesting story, but they do not really have wholesale value.
