Hello all, happy to be a new member of the community. The wealth of information here is awesome. I've owned a few rugs over the years, but I've recently begun to learn more about intricacies of their origins. I've also purchased a few more (I think I might be developing a rug addiction actually). I'm particularly fond of the various tribal styles.

Anyway, I ran across the rug in the photo attached and was hoping someone might have some ideas about its origin and age. The seller seemed the think it was Senneh and quite old (he suggested pre-1900). My searches for other Senneh rugs hasn't turned up anything similar.

Forgot to add: the dimensions are about 41 inches square.

Hi
It is not Senneh and no way that old
It is a afghan Mushwani rug made in the last 20 years or so i would say

Ahh, that's it alright. I searched for Mushwani and came up with this one (among others):

Definitely Mushwani and probably made within the past 5 years (if not it's probably been sitting waiting to sell until now) probably a bit lower than average quality as well.
