Hi folks, this is my first post so I hope I do it correctly.
I purchased this beautiful small high quality rug recently from a local auction and would appreciate any help with identification and possible value.
It is very small 17"/43cm x 11.5"/29cm and is mounted and framed. I don't want to remove it from the mount as I think it is the best way to display it, too small to go on the floor. It feels like silk and the knot count is approx 600. Would this be a tourist piece? Is it Persian? Any clues to age? I've never seen anything like this especially with the floral border at both ends. I can't read the writing but it looks Persian?
What sort of value would something like this have? I may sell if worth it, have no idea as it is so small etc. Will keep otherwise. Any help most appreciated, thank you.
