I think it is Persian and have a couple of thoughts but I will see what the experts think. Size is about 51" X 75". Seems to have some age, semi-antique maybe? 1950's or earlier? As for condition, it was attacked by some fool with a vacuum cleaner so there are problems on the ends and the selvage. The pile is pretty good. Might be dirty or tea dyed? Looks like cotton warp and weft. I thought it was pretty and the cost was minimal. Please let me know what you think. Thanks, Bruce cuzinbruce attached the following image(s):

I am not familiar with Karasran rugs but this is what I would think it could be. Art Oriental - Djoharian fine oriental rug, since 1967 Ludwigstr. 21 97816 Lohr, Bavaria - Germany https://www.the-rug-store.de https://www.facebook.com...nTeppicheArtOrientalGmbh https://www.instagram.com/djoharian_collection/

Is this machine made? I was certain it was handmade when I bought it. Did I goof? cuzinbruce attached the following image(s):

Notice also how the weave looks like the warps are running the wrong way on the rug. Also, there is a fuzziness in the pile. It has all of the colors of a Kerman, mille Fleur... don't know the age.

And the pile in the damaged area pulled out in little curled pieces. For me, now, I look at the absolute straightness of the rows of pile, and the uniformity of the pile on the back, could only have come from a machine. That's what I get for buying rugs with a flashlight in the morning. Fortunately it did not cost me much. I can probably sell it for more than I paid. Thanks, Bruce
