Unveiled this week in Tehran, the soccer field-sized carpet was woven for the massive Sheikh Zayed mosque under construction in Abu Zaby, United Arab Emirates. It took 1,200 weavers eighteen months to create the rug, which measures 60,546 square feet.

I don't want to be a spammer so i wont give anymore info, but if you have an eclectic style you should google it or check out the store.
