gorgeous carpet .... it is displayed on the wall in my livingroom.... as mentioned before my grandma was born in Paris in 19th century and I love to collect carpets so I hang them on wall for people to see the quality.... all chateaus or castles has carpet on wall... I had praying carpet I bought in Zurich of course more costly but hey nobody know what you pay for .... I have persian rung for 30 years the kind which you see in swiss banks..... I can remember the amount of knots they have in 10 square centimeters.... color will never go aways.... you bet you will hear from me if I like some carpets... thank you
