<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 349863, member: 84&quot;]I found this at my friend&#039;s 2nd hand furniture store; he found it in a storage unit he won at auction.</p><p>It measures 61&quot; x 98&quot; (counting the fringe on ends it measures 106&quot;) &amp; it is very thick/plush. I paid $25 for it!</p><p>It has a small cotton &quot;tag&quot; with Chinese characters; that&#039;s it for identification.</p><p>I&#039;m guessing it is from the 1950&#039;s - 1970&#039;s; is there a way to tell?</p><p>I&#039;m pretty sure it is Chinese - do I call it Chinese carpet when listing it, or oriental carpet?</p><p>Can you tell if it is handmade?</p><p>Is it safe to clean with a Rug Doctor that I can rent from a grocery store, and if not what&#039;s the best/safest way to clean it?</p><p>Anything else that may help me - this is a new area I am trying? </p><p>As always, I appreciate any help.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]118416[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]118413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]118414[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
