| The condition of this new war rug is excellent. The sheen really stands out, as does the uncommon use of planes as the border. The shade of green used in the helicopters and as an accent throughout is gorgeous and rarely seen in war rugs. The consistent use of planes and flowers in small detail along the inner field is nice as is the use of the color white as a highlight. The drawing of the helicopters and tanks is extremely well done. This rug is an excellent example of a classic war rug and sure to be quite the conversation piece in any home or office. |
