<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DrPam, post: 4315317, member: 15550&quot;]Komokwa and Any Jewelry, you&#039;ve both been exceptional responders - thank you so much! </p><p><br /></p><p>I looked up Ganado Red and learned a great deal, as well as viewed about 1000 images of such rugs. Never saw another star motif, so I guess my grandparents got lucky to find that one! I&#039;ve also learned about &quot;lazy lines&quot; and &quot;Selvage lines,&quot; which I&#039;d wondered about because they&#039;re visible on mine. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just for fun, here&#039;s a little more back story. The rugs were used as rugs at my grandparents&#039; house so they&#039;ve got a bit of honest wear. After they passed away they came to my Mom and about 40 years ago a local dry cleaner promised her they knew now to clean them properly. Wrong. She was very upset when they were returned to her and the reds had &quot;run&quot;. She rolled them up, stored them in a closet, and a few years ago&nbsp; they came into my possession. </p><p><br /></p><p>Just recently I found a legit rug cleaning service I trusted to &quot;do them right&quot; and they did a wonderful job - you can barely see the damage done so many decades ago! </p><p><br /></p><p>Now the largest one hangs on one wall (I found a 2-sided wood rug hanger that presses together to hold the rug without damaging it), and am hoping I&#039;ll be able to find enough wall space to display the other two as well. </p><p><br /></p><p>Once again, many thanks for your help![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
