Condition: Tip fading
mercerized cotton accents
This rug features rows of weapons outlined with bright green and blue mercerized cotton accents. Bright tip faded pinks are present in the border and small sections of the field. Usually using cotton in a wool rug is a negative, however the bright colors of the cotton make it acceptable in this case.
An assortment of flowers and plus-shapes weave around the tip faded blue border.
