I recently purchased this approximately 9’ X 11’ oriental wool rug from an estate sale for $80. It has full, even pile. If anyone has an opinion as to its country of origin, age and/or value I would love to hear it. Thanks in advance!

I think it's an Indian and about 25 years old. They don't have a great resale value, especially this design and colour is not so much in fashion. However, for a handmade rug of this condition and size you certainly have done well. I wouldn't have thought that you could get it less than Eur1600 in a shop
