I was looking for a carpet that would work with my grey/gold/ivory linen bedding and this is perfect.  The rug does look as if it is a time-worn antique!   It is thin but that is what I wanted as it is in a sitting area of our master bedroom that we walk across to access the master bathroom; the low profile means no tripping late at night!  No shedding also which is something I wanted to avoid.  The price is also amazing; I was wary of purchasing an expensive wool rug because there's always so much guilt when I want to redecorate, but no issues like that with this rug (although I think I'll have this carpet for a long time).  Well done!Pros: Beautiful, low profile, no sheddingCons: None
