| This older rug is in good condition. There are two caveats to this. First, the color of the face of the rug has changed. On the back the field color is deep blue, but on the front is has faded to a deep charcoal blue. Secondly, it has a repair that is roughly 3x4 inches. The repair is well done. This is a rare pattern. The colors are very nice. It is desirable how the two helicopters are hidden in the design. Nice rug |
