Dealer wants USD 1100 for this Nain rug. Size is 6ft 10 in x 10ft 8 in. Rug is wool and small amount of silk on Cotton. KPSI appears to somewhere near 220.
Is it a Nain? is it a fair price to pay?

It appears to be a Nain Copy, hence the very low value. However, if you like the piece it is not a bad price, especially from a dealer, assuming that there are no problems with the piece.

The carpet appears hand noted for sure. It is a Noohla. Is it a Tabas?

By copy I meant Tabas or Shahrood or..., I did not mean machine made.

If this was an original Nain, how much do you recon it would fetch?

Well since it is not it's very difficult to say because it would have depended on how fine it was and design and colour, but at the very minimum USD9000.
