[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2571326, member: 51"]I've only gone to one garage sale this summer, not too many due to Covid. But did find a rug, for free! All kids stuff at first glance, but got one small item. Then noticed this rug, great colors, looked vintage, I thought they were going to display things on it, but thought I'd check, "Are you selling that rug?" and owner says, "Oh, that's in the free pile." Figured take it, ask questions later. It seems vintage possibly. It is wool, fairly heavy. It is clean but does have some condition issues which is why they were giving it away I guess, but has such a nice look and colors. Approx 8' x 5'. On one end they sadly duct taped one of the ends to make a even line when turned over. Fringe is gone, quarter sized hole under the duct taped end, and some white threads showing throughout. Still I'm not ruling it out for somewhere in the house possibly as I really like the pattern and colors. What can you tell me? Does the condition mean too far gone? Thanks!
