Featured Recent addition to my pile of rugs ..

Picked this up on Saturday and finally had the nerve to wade through the snow tonight (Tuesday) to get it out of the car. Car is parked a block and a half from my place BTW.

Couldn't remember exactly what the carpet looked like and just HAD to take another look at it, so boots, puffer jacket, toque and gloves donned, out I went.

Got back, unwrapped it and took a photo. I'm trying to identify it, I'm thinking Khamseh at the moment but I just started looking ...any ideas folks?

It's pretty dense at about 270-300 knots per sq in, and rough size is about 5 x 7 ft, (I forgot to measure it before wrapping it back up)

Anyway here's the rug

 

Is it as new as it looks in the image??? VERY NICE looking, BTW!!!!!!

 

It is very clean and probably 30 to 40 years old (I think)

 

very nice !

 

GREAT BUY !!! ... Joy.

 

Lovely. Just what I need in front of my fire!

 

Beautiful!

 

Definitely worth wading in the snow! Such vital colors and strong patterning.

 

So the question is now ...do I sell one of the others or keep on "laminating" them (putting this one on top of the others) ..I think there are three or four layers here and there already

 

Very nice, Blooey!

 

Depends if the pile has reached the point where you need climbing tackle and oxygen to get over them......

 

I think you should share them with others who appreciate their beauty like you do. So only three thickness tall!

 

I bought a pair of modernist rya rugs from the Swedish pavilion exhibit at Expo67 (bought them in 1994) ...they are at the bottom of the stack ..and haven't seen them in 25 years ...do I have a problem?

 

Come lie on my couch

 

That's called preservation.
Alternatively they may form coal.

 

Oooo, lovely! Good thing you got it out of the frozen car!

 

After much searching, I finally identified my rug.

It's a Kurdish Senneh Bijar
