If it has a bench with it, you may find the manufacturer tag underneath the seat. My mom's vanity was part of a 5 piece bedroom set and the only id was under the bench. But they were mass produced and I'm not sure knowing the manufacturer and date will alter the value much.

I would contact rugman or another internet rug eadler and see if they could direct you to someone who knows about Spanish rugs. Linda C

Dark Desire is in its first year of sales in USA. It just won a German ADR this last September - should require no effort to prevent black spot. We put it into trials 2 years ago in the deep south and it is happy and grows well in the south without fungicides. Size wise this is a big rose 4' x 4' easy and perhaps reaching 5 feet in height. It likes suns and while I have not done any trials in shade but does seem to tolerate afternoon shade in my trial garden. Repeat blooming and fragrant. The foliage is a very dark green with purplish new leaves and the new stems are a mahogany color which you may want to consider in the design. Polar Express is a tall rose reaching 5'. It won an ADR back in 2007 and is quite disease resistant. Good reports on performance in Texas. It blooms recurrently with very heavy flushes of flowers. Shiny bright foliage. Probably best in the background of your rose garden. Lions is a great choice. It tends to be much wider than tall. The number of blooms can be heavy enough to be a bit overhanging. Excellent on disease. Sunbeam Veranda is a compact Floribunda. Bright yellow bloom fading to a mi- range yellow open flower. It is easy to maintain it at about 3' tall and 2'wide. It is good on disease but not as good as some of the other Kordes roses - probably as good as Sun Sprite. Wow you are going to have an amazing rose garden!

Thank you, aurorawa! That sounds like very likely! I've been looking at photos of Clusia all morning. So...not to confuse things, before I checked back onto this forum, I went to another nursery early this morning (Mickey Hargitay) and showed the photo to the manager there. His guess was that it was a ficus, which surprised me. When Googling, I came across Ficus Microcarpa Roundleaf. It's also another possibility, as it resembles this tree. It is apparently a slow growing tree, too. What do you guys think? It could be either one. Although I am leaning towards Clusia, as that guy did say the tree came from Hawaii. Although Clusias are apparently fast growing trees, so it would make no sense for one to be priced at $250 for such a small tree.
