So Mod! Big, low shag rug from the 1970s

 (Update: SOLD)
The Living Room Consignment & Tea is pleased to offer...

A big, beautiful, ivory-white and gold, low shag,
designer rug from 1971, in great vintage condition.

The consignor remembers when her mother bought this
in the early 1970s as a "raw wool" rug.
Six bands of elongated hexagons, outlined in gold,
stretch across the rug.

The texture of the natural wool is almost like that of a sheepskin,
with a low, shaggy pile (~1/2" - 3/4").

It measures 9'9" x 14' plus a row of fat 6" braids at each end.

This rug is big! Works well with many design themes.
Obviously, great with retro, mid century modern,
but not such a wild design that it doesn't play nicely
with other themes, as well.

There's very little wear, less then one might expect
for a rug that's now 41 years old.

There's one area where the gold dye may have bled very slightly
into the surrounding natural color.
The photo below on the left shows the extent of that, 

but can you make it out in the larger view on the right?
It would be at the second band of hexagons from the bottom right:
.

The length of the pile varies from about 1/2" to 3/4".
There's no backing, just the weave,
so it's recommended to use this rug with a pad or liner.

A living room within The Living Room...how meta

When my consignor unloaded his truck,
he set this up in the space we'd cleared out for him, creating an instant meta-living room within The Living Room.
Pretty cool, huh? (eh? for you Canadians)

So, our new inventory includes the Flexsteel sofa, the striped chair and ottoman, the wood and glass coffee table with fold-up leaves, a matching console table, a hall tree (not visible here), and a little, fringed pouf footstool.

We have a new ebay store!

  .. ..  .. ...
A vintage dart cabinet, an African family in sculpture, an antique sideboard, an old Bye-Lo Baby doll...
what do all these have in common? They are all items on our new ebay store, which we've just set up in hopes of sharing our wonderful consignment treasures with a wider audience. It's still in early stages, but it seems to have most of the right working parts :^)
