This 9x12 foot Oriental rug was in my grandparents' guest room for decades and saw very little foot traffic. Unfortunately, a teething lab puppy got to one small place along the edge a few years ago (see photo below).  Apart from some other signs of wear along the edges, the rug is in great condition.  The photos below don't really do it justice.
