    This Large Vintage Southwest Style Wool Rug is an easy way to bring brilliant color and design to your home or office. A traditional style with wide top and bottom borders and with Aztec style birds. Natural gray and cream yarns are woven together with dyed reds and oranges. A very durable piece with soft hand carded wool, it's about 45-1/2" by 71", and has light wear. This was sold to the former owner as a Navajo blanket (which it is not), and still has the original tag on it. It a beautiful textile that you can walk on or hang on the wall of your favorite room, either way this Large Vintage Southwest Style Wool Rug will surely make a colorful addition to your decor!

    I didn’t do an image search on it. That sure does look to be the same rug! I didn’t have a good feeling about this one but better safe than sorry! Still could be worth buying if the price is right. They’ll probably price it as authentic though. Thanks!

    Having been fooled myself many times, I'll say that this one has the edges that suggest a Mexican 'in the style of.'
