I have inherited various rugs that have been stored away for more than a couple of decades, and I've been doing research but expert opinion would be most helpful. I'll start with this small rug.
First of all would you call a very small textile like this, (29" x 32") a rug or is there another name for small pieces like this? (I have another one even smaller.)
I think it is Persian, from what I could research.
Is this a hand knotted rug? All the edges are bound.
Any idea of the age or type? I appreciate any help.

This would be called a "rug fragment". It is not a whole rug, but part of what once was a rug. Someone fixed all four sides, so that it would not unravel. Someone here will be able to tell you what kind of rug the original rug was. It looks like wool on cotton, hand knotted, and an older piece.
