I only have the pictures the owner provided which are dark and grainy.
It measures @ 11+ feet by 9+ feet. Owner says it is very old???
I've asked for better pictures including back, sides, etc. It apparently has no fringe, but the owner said it had been hand covered and stitched back. I have a feeling it may be man-made, but wont know til I get the pictures, Owner said a patch had been inset where the foot/ shoe is in one of the pictures. The style looks Afshar or Kerman. What do you think? I will post other pics when I get them.
Thanks!

When I saw the first picture I thought it was machine made, but having looked at the back I still think its machine made.
