I bought this 11 x 8'4" chinese rug from an acquaintance who purchased it from a designer (so neither of us knows much about it). It is carved wool and is a glossy ivory color with pastel flowers and vines, and very soft. It has no significant foot-traffic wear, but was used under a dining table and has a few small stains and indentations from the table legs (I assume these can be remedied easily with a cleaning). I know the market for chinese rugs is limited, probably even more so for a white rug, but I'm hoping to sell it after I find out its value.
