This is a pure, 100% silk rug of about 2 by 3 meters, no other material has been used in making this whatsoever. It was bought in Istanbul Turkey in the 1990's for nine thousand US dollars & the receipts are still here, albeit written in Chinese script (Taiwanese). It appears as totally new as when bought. It displays no ware whatsoever and is in as new condition. It is for sale purely because we lack the space to display it. Please see the photos & if you wish to see more then just ask. Viewing can be arranged in the area of Tauranga. When gone it will be sadly missed. There would be very few of these within New Zealand. Request if you would wish to have a 'phone call regarding it.
