They often are thick, full carpets with a particularly high durability.This is a used carpet, which has become more beautiful and richer in character due to the natural ageing process.Measurements:approx. 315 x 218 cmMain colour:Cream.Accent colours:Beige, pink, red and blue shades.Specifications: Rich abrash (natural colour variations); wonderful shine.Signs of wear:Fringe is not as good; Some discolouration because of exposure to sunlight.Please view the photos for your own impression.This lot will be shipped by registered post, with a track and trace code.X408 Read More
