Since 1947 Full Service Carpet Store.
Now Wade's store has been open since
47 but he does not say that his
Grandfather was in business for years
before that. Wade grew up in carpets and
has that wealth of knowledge that only
dealers develop after growing up in a
business. Wade based his attribution on
the structure and he noted that there is
wool and cotton in the wefts.
I can see why you related this to a
Karagashli Kuba. This one has the L
shaped flowers that we see in Karagashlis
But it is structure that decides a rug
not design.. This is a wonderful rug from
a first class dealer. By the way do not
confuse this Shehady with the other
Shehady dealer in Pitsburgh.
Best wishes,
Barry
