Beaver and Raven designed in Alaska, made in Nepal
Had some existing dye bleed in the fringe that MB's Magi and fringe bleach would not do much to.
I hit it with steam but only got about 50% out.

Mikey I think that is a little to big for a prayer rug . A prayer rugs usually measure 6'6 or smaller. That is a
Nepalese which I am sure Randy could explain.

Take the rug with the dyebleed on the fringe into the drycleaning shop and let them use dry steam and Streepene to get the red out. The drycleaner will know how to do this.

Well considering that rug is 17 inches by 9 inches and it's all wrinkled, I would say it is not worth very much.

It’s a Shiravan Prayer rug It appears to have some hot colors..not natural dyes and the design wasn’t executed well so, it’s not that valuable. It could use some repair these are thin loose weaves when the ends and sides go they fall apart quickly.
Matt’s rug appears to be a Kashan from what I can tell

The main & secondary boarders are poorly done it’s not that the boarders don’t match up perfectly it’s that the design has no integrity throughout the whole rug.
I'm on my flat screen computer so colors don't alwasy show true ....Some of the green looks possibly synthetic is there any brown in the rug ?
