Kangaroo War Rug

5 foot by 9 foot 1 inch.

This is a very collectable older Baluch War Rug from a German Collection. This is one of the best rugs in the collection from a collectors view point. Rarity is a major factor in any collectable and I have never seen any other rug like this one.

I see Baluch war rugs and I see Kangaroo rugs certainly less commonly than war rugs but I see them . But here we have something that I have never seen before a Kangaroo war Rug.

A Very Unusual Rug. I Please note the wealth of designs including the small automobiles. The wool and the colors are exceptional as well.

While Baluch type animal rugs are not that rare, nice ones are. This one has a very unusual design and represents one of the best of the Baluch type animal rugs.

The German Collection:

Late last year a friend contacted me and asked if I would be interested in any of the rugs from a large collection in Germany. After seeing pictures I made an offer for the entire collection and it was finally accepted. Why it took over 6 months to ship these rugs from Germany is beyond my comprehension. Finally I got a call that Customs had released these rugs and I finally have them to offer to you.
