Hi Jennifer, Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. This lacks most of the elements typically associated with a Persian rug - colors, decorative elements, etc. I suspect - if it was made in the Middle East - that it was made for the tourist market. Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is: A vintage Indo European hand-loomed wool carpet mid 20th Century The central dark blue ground lushly decorated with stylized foliate motifs, within a lighter border and cream selvedges (fringe trim). approximately 9 feet six inches by 13 feet 6 inches CONDITION: appears to be in generally fair condition; value assumes no stains, odors, tears or repairs. PROVENANCE: purchased from earlier owner about 5 years ago $400-600* *represents a fair-market value for auction purposes; retail or asking price may vary. Please let us know if you have additional items to appraise, and thank you again for using Mearto.
