<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 1585300, member: 6444"]Amazingly it looked to me to be in perfect condition, without any holes or other moth damage. I'll check more carefully now that I know what it is. Most of the 19th century rugs I find have at least some moth damage, but I guess this must have been put away in a drawer or somewhere safe. I wonder if it was ever worn. It must be made of wool, but it is an incredibly fine and silky material though doesn't have the shine or feel of silk. Could it be cashmere; if so how to tell (or does it matter)?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
