Its a hand made kilim. to determine origin and approx age we'd just need to see photos of the fringe going into the rug.. The rug does have some conditional issues as well as color run. monetarily not worth much, but has some charming features. Do you mind me asking how much you paid?

Albania, Romania, Bessarabia. Something like that.

You have a slit tapestry kilim like rugpro said with a lot of damage mainly color run which is hard to resolve easily. I think it's Bessarbarian too which I think was a country at one time near Romania. Correcting all the problems would out weight the value of the piece in my opinion.
