Hello,
I apologize in advance for the incomplete pics (long story), but I think they are good enough to start with. This over-all rug graces a big living room. It was purchased by my grandmother who was born in the 1880s. She probably bought it at auction like she bought most everything else. To my untrained eye, the rug looks like one of the Persian "City" types, i.e., Sultanabad, Ferahan Sarouk, Tabriz, etc., but after looking at hundreds of photos on the web, I can't find any patterns that correspond.
Rug is blue with red main border.
I would appreciate any ID or other information, and eventually, I will have better photos and dimensional data for a more detailed assessment. Thanks.
Here is the central part of the field:
This is a corner of the border:
