Hello all! This is my first post. I've been researching the characteristics of this rug and I think this rug is a hand knotted flat weave rug. Please take a look at the pictures and tell me if I'm right or wrong. I also think it is a vegetable or natural dyed rug as there is variation in the colors. I've looked through a lot of pictures and still can't come up with a region or style. I certainly don't have the eye to guess the age.

I am honestly on the fence about selling it. I've had it for over 30 years myself (I think I picked up from a garage sale). It needs a cleaning. However, it's been stored away in my closet and I keep thinking I'm going to use it but for one reason or another, I haven't had the chance to display it in a long time. This time it's because we are moving. I've got a couple of more rugs and I know I have to pair down. I just want to find out more about them before I make a decision.

Thank you for your comments in this thread!

Agree with RugPro, a rug woven in Soumak style and made most likely in India (also possible: China).
