I placed this on Craigslist portion below, but I purchased it today and have better pictures so I hope someone can give me a clue.

Kilim is 6"4"X9'8"" As seen there is on "dog bite" whole and the rug is extremely dusty if not dirty. It has been sitting in a basement for a length of time
Story is the person I purchased it in small town Oregon knew an escentric lady who had traveled the world and purchased numberous rugs. The escentric person wanted a couch so she swapped this rug for a new couch. The person I bought it from then realized it didn't fit her house so it has never been used by her.

Seems to be in very good shape except for notes above. I tried to do my research and it seemed to fit the senneh model.
Was I correct, how old is it, and how sought after are senneh kilims?

Also if a reader does kilim repair---how much would it be to fix the bite, and is a repair on a kilim a wise thing to do while a repair on an old rug is not? I guess a bite needs to be repaired regardless.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Bart.
This is an older Senneh, probably 1960. Wool on cotton. There are some antique pieces with nearly same design on wool foundation. I think repair will cost about $200.
