Description

This is a rug which I inherited from my father. I remember him saying that he ordered it special after a vacation in Europe. There isn't a label on the rug. I wish I could tell you definitely what it's made of, but my guess is wool with cotton tassels.

Hi Mary,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
