Condition: This is a really nice rug. It appears to have been bleached and some of the colors are faded, however the wool is super soft and luxurious feeling.
The rug depicts a city block motif, once in each quadrant of the rug, with roads filled with cars and trucks separating the blocks. The border mirrors the shapes found in the center of the blocks, perhaps an orchard or garden scene.
Small flecks of gold metallic thread, especially in the bottom left side of the border.
