Condition: The condition of this new war rug is good. This is an Afghan war rug that was washed using a special technique in Pakistan before it was shipped to us. It has a nice abrash to it. The staff at warrug.com all agree that the pattern seen in this war rug is exceptional. The continuity of the mixed geometric colors used in the helicopters, hand grenades, and along the bullet border is lovely. The tribal aspect of small mistake, clearly shows the beautiful juxtaposition and the brilliant traditional appeal of nomadic, tribal weaving versus the perfection of regular Persian city carpets.
