A lot of room for improvement!
I give a negative point for the following reasons:
1- very poor quality packaging material, which was open on two corners and worn off at the bottom making the carpet back visible (I can send the photos, if needed).
2- folding the carpet on the wrong side
3- not sending a printed Certificate of Authenticity
4- posting photoshopped photo’s of the carpet giving it a vintage/antique look, which is different than the reality of the carpet.
5- one important character of a Persian carpet which plays a key role on its value is its axial symmetry along the long and short axes. The length of this carpet is 340,5cm on the one side and 334cm on the other side meaning that the carpet is not symmetrical! To avoid misleading the customer, these figures have to be reported in the descriptions of the carpet, honestly.
6- There were signs of repair at some points, but the carpet still rendered signs of wear at some other points which require immediate attention. These were not reported in the description, either.
luckily, I managed to pack this beautiful peace of art and return it.
