| Wow, this is a type of rug that usually does not come in a mass-production because to make something like this with almost 700 KPSI, will take many many months or possibly years. Majority of the silk rugs usually are made of two way silk and one way of cotton, it means silk pile on silk foundation but the weft is cotton. The super quality silk rugs such as this one come with all the way silk, pile, warp & weft are all silk that's why when you handle them, feels like butter and is kind of slippery. You can refer to the close-ups and view the one that shows the back view, just see how fine this fantastic rug is. The pattern of this rug is called Joshegan, which is one of the most well known & classic pattern in Persian rugs. this rug was hand knotted In China, price of silk drastically has gone up in recent years, and many weavers were compelled to halt the silk production due to very high prices. Now, prices for pure high quality silk rug starts from $100.00 PSF and more, for example if you wanted to buy something like this from a weaver as a dealer, you had to pay at least $5,400.00, which is a dealer to dealer price then just imagine how much will be the retail/ As you probably know all pile rugs have two shades of colors, light & dark side, when you view the rug from the nap the colors specially background color is much lighter than other side, which is the dark side. This would be so obvious in silk rugs, if you refer to the pictures the first 6 pictures were taken from the light side and the rest from the dark side, as you see, you could have two different background color, which is amazing. I was fortunate to buy this rug from a private auction, where only invitees could attend, therefore, I didn't get that many competition and I was able to buy it at the reasonable price that's why I am offering it at such a low price of $3299.00, which is an absolute crazy . The actual retail price of this rug in Today's market is at least $10,000.00, and I could issue an appraisal certificate at that price, which you could apply towards your homeowner insurance policy in case of theft, flood and fire. This is a golden opportunity to start oqning a super quality silk rug that always appreciates in price and go generation after generation. It is in excellent condition, no flaws whatsoever .
