Handmade Aubusson Creteil Beige/ Light Gold Wool Rug (7'6 x 9'6)

the first purchase that I made of a French Aubusson rug was very satisfactory, price was 30% less than the "exact rug" on both e-bay and Horchow's websites. The color was very off, but it was still nice and it worked into the decor of the room. When I received the second rug, the one for this review, pricing was not as strong as the first purchase, color was again off, the manufacturer/importer's quality was inferior to the first rug. Both rugs were listed with the exact spce's and same manufacturer. Overstock had UPS pick it up at no charge, and did not hassle me over the issue. I said to OS find me another rug with the same quality and I will re purchase. I believe this is a case of the vendor trying to keep down the price so there was some skimping on the thickness and tightness of the weave and twill which is the basis of the pricing of a rug.
