I recieved a gift from my favorite Aunt recently.  She is at the age now (in her 90’s) and she called me over to go threw some things as she will be not living alone any longer.  Among all the heirlooms was something she wanted me to havean old, Oriental Rug I hadn’t seen lately. It was rolled up and hidden away.   Because of my friends at Oriental Rug cleaning company.  I have been learning about the diversity of the different rugs, how they have been woven and for what purpose .  And now I had received a rug from my aunt and she said her parents got from the orient.  All I knew it was dirty, didn’t look like much of anything, but because she insisted on me taking it from the home she was moving from, I agreed and propmtly took it to my friends at Pride Carpet , also owned by my friend and where they have a  cleaning facility along with  Oriental Rug Cleaning.  I would walk around looking at the variety of rugs in the cleaning process, I must say the Chinese Rugs I have seen are esquisit!
