[QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 168502, member: 59"]Thanks for the fringe pictures - they are in awfully good condition for supposedly 100 year old rugs. So good as to make me wonder if your friend was mis-informed about age. Those pictures, however, do not show enough of the undersides to be useful. Flip the end of each rug over on itself by at least a couple feet so you can take pictures that show more of how it looks under the design. If you can, please include how the side edges are bound as well. There seem to be some tags attached underneath.
