This carpet is presented as a distressed look. It is not; the colors are very pigmented and differ dramatically from the pictures. It is described as a 1/2" pile height, when it is actually only 3/16" (very thin). It is shown with border tassels in the picture of it laying on the floor and it does not have the traditional fringe. It is a very poor reproduction of what was probably a very pretty original, Needless to say it is being returned.
