This is a tough one to tell just from pictures. I think someone would need to feel it to be certain, but I'd say it is from the Shiraz or Malayer area in South/Southwest Iran. Though you may have purchased this in the 1970s, since it is in such good condition and the color combination is still in, we'd probably categorize this as a new rug.
