Every year, the spouses clubs at Mildenhall put on a big bazaar in the airplane hangars. Vendors come from all over the UK and Europe. Last year, we spent hours talking to an Oriental rug salesman, learning all there is to know about rugs. Jordan ended up falling in love with a hand-made rug, but after much deliberation we decided against buying it. As it turns out, the same man was there again this year, and the same rug was still available! Needless to say, we brought it home with us this time. The rug was hand-knotted out of merino wool (with silk accents), and made in India. Here are a few pictures...
Wow it's gorgeous! And looks like it was made just for your home :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents have one that is almost identical to that and they've had it for 35 years now. I'm sure yours will be a treasure for years to come too!
