Thank you Kad for you reply. Do you have any idea how old it is and what the writing means? Can you estimate its retail value? Thanks

These used to sell on ebay for very low prices - 400-600 even for very large sizes. Now, they are harder to come by under 1500 because import from Iran is not permitted and therefore replacement not as easy. This is not speaking to the value of your rug because I have not evaluated yours compared to what the market was or is now. On your rug, it is also possible the border may have been reduced a bit. Writing on these does not really translate.

Thank you Rugpro for your reply. Do you have any idea how old this rug might be?
