My rug

Remember my sad post about my beloved Persian rug? I thought I'd post some pictures of here, in a kind of tribute. Last night I sent pictures to a rug guy and after looking at them he told me the rug is a Yayla rug from Iran (as I'd thought) and was about 150 years old (quite a bit older than my estimate). It's quite an antique! It really used to be gorgeous :)



See, here's a part where the knotting hasn't all worn off.
