I bought this rug at auction to cover floor space. After purchase, a man who missed bidding on it badgered me about buying the rug from me because he had wanted it for a Chinese friend. Later I let him outbid me on a better rug because I felt bad about not selling him this one. What do I know about rugs. Exactly nothing besides I put them on the floor. Guess it is time to learn about rugs. Thanks for any help in identifying what kind, any worth, etc. It is approximately 4 x 6.

If this posts without photos I will try again, sorry, but it isn't loading as one would expect.

Thank you so much. The woman I bought it from was 106 when she died and had traveled the world. She didn't have much access to big cities or box stores, etc in the past 40 years, so I guess I had hoped for a better story for my little ten buck purchase, but so it goes. Thanks again for taking time to let me know. Her life story will have to be the story that goes with it. :-)
