This is not made in Iran, it appears to my eye to be an import from Pakistan. Knot count was stated as 280, which I highly doubt. This particular type of design carpet usually features an open faced symmetrical knot, which is also known as a ghiordes knot. Often times people mistake the other side of the symmetrical knot as an entirely separate knot to count. This isn't correct.

Yeah, I have one just like it in grey and black that I bought knowing it was Pakistani. It was very inexpensive but has a nice look and will appeal to the impulse buyer in my booth. But I can see what you mean, it has the exact look and feel and even more (call it flakey) the vibe of it is exactly the same as mine, they look like from the same set. Like you'd go into WalMart and there's the same rug in several colors. If it IS just like mine, no way on this planet it has 280KSI.
