You should see if the owner can send you a photo of the back of the rug where the fringe meets the pile. If this rug is hand-knotted, it is definitely worth the $275. If it is machine-made, I'd pass. From the pattern and color scheme, I'd guess it was Turkish or Egyptian (that is, if it is a hand-knotted rug).
