Dear Jeff, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry and for your patience. Based on the images and available information, this item is: A Hand Knotted Wool Persian Rug. The piece most likely dates back to the period of mid to late 20th century. The piece follows a common pattern especially amoung Tabriz pieces. Persian rugs are made with all-natural wools, silk and vegetable dyes, rather than synthetic materials. Carpet weaving is an important activity in many Islamic countries in Northern Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East, and the carpets are sometimes also referred to by the most popular places of origin: Persian carpets from Iran and Turkish or Ottoman carpets from Turkey. Fair condition. 1600-2200$.
