[QUOTE="komokwa, post: 3687027, member: 301"]I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to you directly. I feel I did u a disservice . Now that I see this rug .........it's stunning !! I was too quick and not investigative enuf to see that it was indeed hand made, had the size, and the cleaning, and the faux leather backing edge trim and the story that came with it , that should have caused me to give it a more critical look. That fringe bothered me & should have been enuf for me to investigate further....but I did not. Now seeing the rug..and hearing you comment on the change in shade...not color, leads me to two distinct possibilities....both of which I can not confirm still, but only to state that either the wool is of excellent fine quality so that it would shimmer in the sunlight......or it's partly ..or all silk. I did not have this information earlier......so I can't shoulder all the responsibility....but I should have been more closely invested in helping to identify this brilliant carpet........and for that...I'm sorry !!!
