Hi, Your rug is made in Pakistan with a cotton foundation and what looks to be wool pile from your pics and this is consistent with what the seller told you. The design is a combination of several Persian floral designs, but not purely any one design. It is handmade and handknotted and very recent, 2000 to the present. I say this because of the weave in the back, how the fringes are finished, how the selvege (side cords) are wrapped to the end and their roundness, and the design and the borders which are pleasant, but not old.
These rugs do not maintain their retail purchase cost in the resale market, but are very decorative.
