12 X 22 Kerman Rug
Excellent condition, Purchased in 1980s from Einstein Moomjay in northern New Jersey. Lightly used for 25 years in the family home then Professionally cleaned and stored unused in our home since. Opened up occasionally to breath and take pictures. The Rug is much to large for our home and impossible to bet a full picture. I tried taking pictures outside on a tarp but the sun was not cooperating. It is extremely heavy so its no small job to photograph. We unrolled the rug in our entry way and took pictures in sections to try and capture the beauty of the rug. Hand made in Iran , Imported to NJ . Original RN is attached.
