It measures 59.5 inches by 42 inches. Kpsi is 121. The wool is thick and rich, shiny and soft. It has a Josan design border and doesn't look a lot like the painted American Sarouk designs I have seen...particularly for the borders. Besides the painted maroon field..more like cherry red,and the other colors include a lot of yellows, rose, reds, blues...I counted about at least 15 colors. There are no color bleeds..looking at the back, the rose is really rose and not colored by a fugitive red. How old do you think it is and is it an version of the American Sarouk before its design included the disparate flower sprays?? I look forward to everyone's feedback. Please help.. Thanks!!

While I see the similarities to American Saruk that you mention but I do not think they are related to the point that you are making out.
