<p>[QUOTE="Amateur Newbie, post: 4550139, member: 17588"]Hello everyone, </p><p>A friend of a friend is selling her oriental rug and I'm thinking of buying it becuase I think it's lovely, but there are spots that are pretty worn and even a few holes. I know nothing about oriental rugs, but I've seen many and this one looks beautiful to me. I don't mind the worn spots, but obviously the holes are a problem. She tells me it was her uncle's, he was a professor in Cairo in the 50s or 60s and bought it there, but doesn't know any other details. It's approx 9x12. She's selling it for $650. What do you all think, is it worth buying? Is it worth repairing, or beyond help? </p><p>Thanks for your advice![ATTACH=full]403360[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403361[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403362[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]403363[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
