It has a deep raspberry to ruby red field, the color of a rich red Bordeaux wine. The field design consists of two circling pheasants, a very well drawn butterfly, and masses of flowers and leaves. The colors consist of yellow, gold, green, blues, purple, and lavender; all encompassed with a narrow turquoise inner border and a large lavender major border. The border designs consist of a long handled teapot in purple and yellow with a flower decoration, a terrified looking duck who has seen the future and it is spelled ‘Peking’. There are meandering trees and flowers, a butterfly, flowering branches going into the field, a beautiful three legged urn on a table, a purple urn, and a couple of bats (for good luck). There is a large butterfly in the corner, and a cooking pot with smoke wafting out of it going down to the face of the ducks; the reason for their fear now obvious. This rug although not mint is 99% full pile. It is woven using Manchester wool which, as you know, is the finest wool. This rug is clean and ready to go and about as good a deal as you will find on a Mandarin Chinese rug. The buyer pays a shipping of $125.00.
