I have this flat weave rug. Was curious about the approx age. I think it is from a Caucasian area.
I think it is an interesting rug.

Colours, shape and both field and border design are compatible with Caucasian origin. It also looks like it has some age (perhaps early to mid 20th century, this is a NON-EXPERT guess). I've never seen this kind of flatweave with this kind of design though. I agree that it's interesting. Someone here will know more.

This is nice.
Yes, Dagestan summac from early 20th might be right. A rare piece in my eyes. Part synthetic, part natural dyes.
