This Shiraz is one of several rug purchases I made on e-bay a few years ago. It is about 6'7" x 9 and has a knot count of approximately 80 kpsi. It arrived as described and I don't have "a fortune" invested in it. As a matter of fact, until I had a photo of it looked at on the RugRag forum, I was pretty proud of it and the bargain I got. Then the pros over there pointed out what seems almost painfully obvious now - it is missing the guard border on both ends.
Duh. A great learning experience.
Okay, so now I am not quite as proud of it, but it still fills a spot very nicely.
It may be missing some of the original rug, but remember why you ere attracted to the rug and why you bought it. Sometimes "mistakes" make the best stories.
