Hello!

I've been thinking about buying this rug. What i was told about it is as follows:

1. It is from India.
2. It is about 60 years old.
3. It is 100% made with pure natural silk.

I've estimated it is around 300 kpsi. The seller asks $2000 for it.

I would appreciate any information you migh gather from the pictures. Thanks everyone in advance!

It would rather be maximum 25 years old, but seems to be in good condition. Silk on silk. For private sale 2000$ seem a bit high for my taste.

Thank you much for the info! What do you think a fair price for something like this would be?
Also, what could be said about that pattern? Thanks again!
