The condition of this new map war rug is very good with only some minor bleeding around the red lettering. The wool is of good quality, the pile is wonderfully consistent, and its glossy appearance is like a work of art. It should be noted that of all the 2002 Map war rugs we have seen at WARRUG.com, this rug is the best overall example of one. The drawing is clear and concise and this is by far one of the best flags we have seen drawn on a rug.
