This is another rug; in a series of very damaged old rugs, that i have posted on this forum. size length 12.10 ft by width 9.9 ft. the design on this is pretty beautiful and from what is left of the colours, one can see it must have been a fashionable rug back in the day. the colours on the back of this one are almost gone with the moth infestation that can be seen all over the back of the rug.

kindly comment as to what you think this is.

It looks like Tabriz, but I am fairly certain this is more likely from Turkey. Probably not silk.
