I recently bought this rug from a lady who said it was inherited from her mother and was at least 50 years old.

Anyone have a clue what it might be? A little bit of research led me to believe the pattern was of Turkmen origin.

I'd be happy to provide more (and better lit) pictures if there are any specific shots that might help identify the carpet.

When trying to find a rug with similar border pattern and medallions i stumbled upon this site:

The style seems very similar, no?

Not quite close enough. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of this style in existence. Even two rugs woven side-by-side under the same roof would have to be compared on a very individual basis.
