Yes...a Perepedil Shirwan from about 1920? Woolen frings, cotton wefts, cotton selvages. Double tschitschi border and Kufi mainborder. But with bad orange.

I would agree with chris. Hit the nail on the head. Perepedil design Shirvan. Sometimes referenced as the holbein (credited to hans holbein the painter) design with ram horn design interpretation.

Significant chemical dye. Your rug has some good natural dyes and some Anilin one.
