Hello Lorenzo, Thank you for choosing Mearto with your online appraisal and for your patience. I apologise for the delay on your appraisal. Based on the images, this item is: Entirely Hand Knotted Chinese Aubusson Style Rug with an Elaborate Pattern. The piece dates back to the period from 1960 to 2000. Oriental handmade Aubusson rugs were first introduced in the 17th century when weavers began to create carpets and tapestries for royal castles in France (Aubusson is a town on the Creuse River in France). The piece is centrally decorated with a central medallion encircled by flowers and branches around a spacious bouquet. The borders are designed very thick and therefore the pattern gets more dynamic by adding up an antique look. The whole pattern is floral and no other motif were used unlike most Aubusson Rugs which would show off coat of arms or signes of nobility from ribbons to crowns. The piece is knotted wool on cotton. The piece is in good condition without visible problems except loss to the fringes. Entirely hand knotted. Retail prices may vary. 1500-2500$
