I saw my dream rug today. I loved everything about it- the colors "glowed" and exactly in my favorite colors. It was a beautiful silk Qum, in blue and an almost glow in the dark purple. It had the smallest most detailed animals- elephants, camels, horses pulling carts, people and more. They were so small and detailed it looked it'd been drawn with a pen. The border was blue with this beautiful white ticking and it was signed, and supposedly identified as a commissioned piece and made by the grand master weaver, 900 kpsi, he said it had some 28 colors... just amazing and everything I've always envisioned as my perfect rug. A lot of it may have been sales pitch BS, but it really was a beautiful piece. But it was just too expensive and not being an expert- or even half-educated in values, I just couldn't buy it. I know this will always be the one that got away, I loved it so much
