Hello everybody!
This is something that I don't usually write about, but I'm doing it here for a dear friend of mine's sake.
His family owns this beautiful antique and luxurious Indian carpet that is made of velvet, gold, and precious stones (jewels).
It dates back to 1718 !
He's telling me that his family intends to sell this amazing artifact.
If you are interested in buying it, or know someone who is interested, you are welcome to contact me here (in the subject field / line please enter the word "carpet").
Below are details and pictures provided by my friend and his family (the legal owners of the carpet):
