Everything really depends on the weave. Can you post a close-up photo of the back of the rug where the fringe meets the pile? If you include a tape measure or quarter in the pic for reference, that would be good!

Kashmir rugs of this quality, in this size, and in perfect condition generally sell for roughly $4000 today if they are in a "hot" color scheme. What you have was hot 1-2 decades ago, and unfortunately, that greatly affects the demand for this item. If someone were to offer you $2500, I would take it and run. Keep the rug, if you can, because what is hot is always changing.
