Thanks KAD for the info, really happy that it is a persian Isfahan and happy that you like it!
With my half knowledge from the internet you can imagine that buying used rugs on ebay is a bit of a lottery. Interesting about the asymmetric design not necessarily coming in pairs, would think it would look really special in the right environment.
As a non-rug collector, I also liked the fact that there was no flashy signature on the rug, some of the Isfahans I saw on the internet have signatures you can not miss, a bit like these T-shirts reading Armani or Boss or Calvin Klein in big letters...
Some months ago, I had found an Isfahan at an auction I really liked in terms of colours, but stopped short of the winning bid (which went quite high in the last day) just because I did not like the signature part of the rug. After not winning the rug, I did some internet research and saw that it seemed to be a collectible rug, so would not have won the bid anyway.
