[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4551703, member: 2844"]It is a current fashion to 'distress' old rugs that are still in good shape. They are artificially distressed all over, and bleached and dyed to look more monochrome. The back weave is still in good shape. Fashionably distressed rugs are not worn here and there, and they don't have holes. They are like distressed furniture, which was the fashion years ago. That furniture had nothing in common with old worn and broken furniture. So yes, the lady is delusional. Anyone looking for a distressed rug won't buy a partially worn rug with holes. I have been looking for a nice and good size old rug for ages, and all I come across is 'distressed' rugs.:arghh: So I am rapidly becoming a distressed expert in rug distressing.;)[/QUOTE]
