Can anyone steer me toward a supplier for a similar style rug, as we have no stockists in our area.
All the customer knows is that she purchased in Hong Kong some years ago.
It is wool face fibre Rug size is 264x183 (approx 8'6" x 6') and really heavy (two man lift)

You aren't having to pay for the replacement are you?

We used to carry something similar to that in wall to wall.

No it was given to us in that state - chemically damaged by client. While we have improved it significantly it is not enough for client. Insurers are footing the bill.

Any clue on what the "chemical" was that damaged it? What did you do to improve the appearance significantly?

It's been my experience that once the insurance company agrees to replace it, the customer is rarely satisfied with the repair.

Ross that's just plain ugly.

Do them a favor, tell them you can't get it anymore.

A former pitcher for the Detroit Tigers had us install a room of that stuff for him back 20-25 years ago. As I remember, it ran a little over $200 a yard. I can't imagine even walking on that stuff without twisting your ankle.

It is hand tufted. Most likely you can get something made in China again by Stark. Or there is another company called www.uniquecarpetsltd.com

Looks like a Looped noodle rug to me. Available at pottery barn.

Lol I prefer to sound professional. It is a cable yarn made of felted wool. They usually do cost 200 a yd,and over. Not my cup of tea at all. But I seen quite a few rugs that do not make sence.

sometimes we need to speck incorrectly in order to communicate with the client. If you do a search of cable yarn your search might require more work then if you searched felted wool Noodle rug.? IMHO
