| The condition of this rug is new. The wool is traditionally of good quality and the weavers did definitely not disappoint. This is one of the first of the red Turkmen rugs with American weapons in this format. The tank borders is really nicely done and the addition of Chinook helicopters makes this an extraordinary piece for collectors and non-collectors alike. |
