Dear Richie,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for the new information.
Based on the pictures and available information, this item is:
A Hand Knotted Iranian Tabriz Rug or Book Carpet, dating back to the period between 1950-1970. Tabriz is one of the oldest and most recognized carpet weaving city of Iran. It's close location to both Azerbaijan, Turkey and Armenia offered a perfect possibility for trading goods in the past centuries and of course caused exchanges of motifs and styles.
During the mid-century most of the pieces were produced in this quality. Mahi Tabriz pieces has some specific decorations than the usual Tabriz piece as you might have realized. This difference is constructed by using the so called "Herati" pattern which we can realize betwee floral patterns, it is a rotated square shape connecting flowers.
A very colourfel piece with a above average quality and composition. The colours are very charming and natural. Wool on Wool. Fair conditions with worn parts in the center and the outside part in better condition.
1800-2000$.

I just uploaded a few more pics. The worn places are in the center of the rug. The outer areas are good. I found out from the seller that this is an antique Iranian Book Cover carpet.
