[QUOTE="dlk777, post: 90744, member: 1238"]I picked this rug up at an estate sale the other day. I liked the colors and needed something for my hallway, but now I am wondering if it is hand knotted, Persian, etc.? I've been reading and researching and examining it, but I'm pretty sure I don't know what I'm looking at, LOL! Not my area of expertise. It has some damage and I don't want to take it to a rug place and find out that it probably isn't the kind of rug that it worth the cost of repair. Anyone know about rugs? BTW, it is just under 11ft long and 33" wide. In person, the colors are rich. Photos that show streaks of fading are not true fades, but lighting and shadows and my poor camera skills. And yes, sorry about the dog hair :)[/QUOTE]
