I HAVE AN 9.5 FT X 12 FT MULTICOLOR FLORAL RUG THAT IS VERY UNUSUAL.
I CANNOT FIND ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT KIND IT IS OR WHAT IT'S VALUE IS. I BOUGHT IT AT AN AUCTION IN TENNESSEE. THE 75 Y/O PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM SAYS IT WAS HER GRANDMOTHERS. SHE SAID THEY GATHERED WOOL SCRAPS FOR THE SOLDIERS IN THE WAR? (CIVIL, WW1?)
THEY SENT THEM DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND THEY WERE SENT BACK TO THEM HAND WOVEN. DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN FIND THE HISTORY OF THIS WOOL RUG AND WHO CAN APPRAISE IT?[/size]
