<p>[QUOTE=&quot;J Dagger, post: 9725862, member: 10944&quot;]Found at a sale over the weekend. They let me stay way after close because I was spending money and they know the longer I stay the more I’ll spend. I was doing my final rush lap making sure I wasn’t missing anything I just had to have. This piece had been taken from somewhere I hadn’t seen it, folded, and put on top of a stool in a room I’d been through a few times. since folded I just saw like 1/8 of its surface or less. On a quick two second look I loved it and figured I’d bring it up and see if I could have it cheap. I assumed they would have a very high price on it as this sale runner prices everything at the moon retail price and then a little more. I was getting hefty discounts but figured this would still be more than I wanted to pay. To my shock this, a blanket, and the embroidered (Berlin work, it turns out) seat cover thing I got totaled a price of $10 they told me. I didn’t argue. I handled it a bunch out to car, in house, moved it around a couple times. I even rested my chin on it walking it to the car to make sure it didn’t slip off the heavy box I was carrying. Today I laid it out to photograph and handles it a bunch more. As I was taking photos it occurred to me all the yellow in the design looked very out of place when I thought about it more. “Wait a minute, what’s going on here” I thought to myself. It’s so prevalent my eyes told me it was supposed to be there. I looked closer and then it clicked, “oh my god, there’s soooooo much pee that I mistook it for a design element”, barf. I mean this is old baked in pee so at least it didn’t smell or anything but holy cow. Just an immense amount pee, lol. So much of it. Like this rug was just the household litter box. I don’t know if it’s dog or cat but someone claimed this rug as their personal toilet it seems. There’s even a clump of a #2 stain on the underside which I’ll spare you a photo of. Enough to clone the animal I’m pretty sure, if the years old clump is still viable. They must have hid it out of site and then brought it back out when readying to leave. No wonder it was so cheap, they must have been more shocked that I wanted it than I was when they said $10. Kind of hilarious but a real shame, I thought it was super pretty before I realized half its wait was urine. I hope someone can get a chuckle out of my misfortune, my mother did! </p><p><br /></p><p>I am actually really wondering if it’s nice enough someone might pay to get it cleaned. Or if it’s even possible to get this out and keep the rug in otherwise good condition? I don’t think I will pay to do it before attempting selling it but someone may be willing to if they like it enough, ….maybe? Maybe it’s destined for an early grave though, time will tell. </p><p><br /></p><p>I was thinking it may be Mexican or if not another Central of South American country? Peruvian? It’s so thick and soft. A shame about that pesky immense amount of urine! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]472450[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472451[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472452[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472453[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
