Q:My uncle was given a (real) polar bear rug by a little old lady, and it's vintage. We'd like to sell it, but we have no idea where to start. It's incredibly creepy to have this poor dead thing hanging out in your garage. Is it legal to sell it in the US? It does have some damage, it's missing part of a paw, and the nose is a bit sad looking. Otherwise, it's still soft and life-like.

Buying and selling bear skin rugs is legal in the United States; however, the rug must be made from a bear that was killed according to federal and state laws. The seller must prove the process by which the bear was legally killed. If the bear was shot in one state and the pelt is being sold in another, the process by which it arrived in the second state must be proven through documentation. The site below tells you how to do it.

Q:We are doing a production of Anything Goes, and the script calls for a chair rug. I've done a little bit of research, and it seems to be a thick towel that you would put underneath you to protect from bugs and the slats of the chair. Can anyone give me a little bit more to go on, or better yet, tell me where I can find one?

It could also be another name for a throw and be a rug that goes over the top of a chair to hide the fact its all tatty underneath or something?

Q:What size carpet is the 80 x 80 tea table suitable for?

Look, do you want to press the carpet under the sofa, and the diameter of the round carpet is as long as the tea table, and only the feet sitting inside can be stepped on it.

Q:What's the best way to learn the history and possible value of a large, 13' x 26' oriental rug? A friend is thinking about selling hers, and she wonders how to go about this without getting ripped off by a used car(pet) salesman. The rug was made sometime before 1890, probably.

basically a shot on the nighttimes right here. yet i might evaluate getting the carpet wiped sparkling. And whether it rather is a actual Oriental rug herald a expert. do no longer attempt to scrub with many of the products cautioned right here. you need to ruin the carpet.

Q:So I'm looking for really soft, comfortable area rugs here in Toronto. But I don't want real animal fur. Fake Sheepskins, fake animal rugs. I'm just not sure where to look. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am sure all Sam's clubs are the same they have a genuine sheepskin rug for around 40.00 here in NM

Q:I noticed that my carpet has holes in it. there are tiny areas where the carpet strands are gone/eaten/disappeared/burned/etc and i don't know what it is. Also, around the area it is black or has black stuff left on the carpet (light brown carpet color). Any ideas as to what it is? How to stop it? Fix it? [also the only pets i have are fish]

there's a few things that live in carpets or breed there. but moths are the ones that are famous for holes. the larvae eat the rug then become moths. If you're lucky a little flea spray and the worms will come up so you can see them. start using boric acid or diatomaceous earth (buy the kind for this use not the pool filter material). sprinkle on carpet and brush deep with broom. Vacuum more regularly and put down more boric acid every few months at least.

Q:I inherited two fairly large Moroccan rugs, hand made, that my parents purchased years ago in Marrakesh. What is the best way for me to sell these at a good price? I'm honestly not willing to put in that much time.

Post it and sell it! Faster and far less hassle than OKorder because you don't have to ship! Good luck!

Q:My pony is not clipped and I was wandering what weight rug I should put him in in winter if at all. Should I put him in a stable rug when he is in his stable, and should I put a rug on him when he is out?Should I ride him in an exercise sheet as well?

14.2 IS a pony as you well know. he doesn't need any rugs at all if he isn't clipped. Wild horses don't wear rugs and farmers don't put rugs on their cows, sheep and pigs. People put rugs on horses to make people feel better but horses if they are not clipped and in rugs get too HOT in the least bit of sun. Nature has made them able to withstand cold and rain in a way humans cannot. My ponies live out all year and are not clipped and i ride regularly. But be warned lots of ignorant people will tell you that you are cruel if you don't put a rug on He doesn't need an exercise sheet, those are for clipped horses so they don't get a chill

Q:What are the main differences between Persian and Oriental rugs (other than where they come from, obviously), and which is generally considered to be superior?

A Persian rug is from Iran. An Oriental rug can be from anywhere in Asia. The Persian rugs have the best quality and command the best prices. I would compare a Persian rug to a Cuban Cigar. However, as with cigars the other countries products are catching up fast.
