Hello,
Can you post pics of the back of the rug and close ups on the fringes and (sides) selvedges? This all helps with your questions.

I don´t think it was made in Tabriz even if it has Tabriz design. Looking at the Quality of the wool I am sure it was made in eastern Iran / Chorasan province. There are large rug producing companies making everything from Gabbeh, Nain and Tabriz. The cost of labour there is a lot less than in Nain, Isfahan or Tabriz. Also these companies use lower grade wool to produce cheaper rugs.
If it was a real Tabriz with high grade kurk wool the Price Sharafi & Co. postet would be the shop Price. For the rug I would give an estimate of 2000.00 - 2500.00 USD since it is no original but an iranian copy.

Is the quality of the wool bad? If so, how do you tell? Also, I'm a bit confused by you "no original but an iranian copy". It was made in iran so I dont get how its an "iranian copy" unless you mean "tabriz copy".

Thanks!

The Quality of the wool is not bad, it is just not the Quality that is used to make fine 50 raj kurkwool tabriz rugs in the City of Tabriz. It is an iranian Chorasan rug that copies an iranian Tabriz rug.

The distance between These two Areas in not only 1500 km, it is also a totally different envirement. This is why there is a Variation in Quality.
