I purchased this rug because I really liked it, but have no idea as to where and when it was produced. It is a flat-weave and reversible. The weft is wool and the warp is cotton.The floral designs are pastel-like and appear to use natural pigments rather than commercial dyes. Can anyone help me out with identifying it? It has no foot traffic wear at all.

It appears to be a Bessarabian kelim. Kelims do not have wefts and are generally you can use either side. I dont think it is very old.
