I bought this rug ($60) because I fell in love with it. I would like some more information and ballpark estimate since it has no markings and the seller didn't have any information about it. Would appreciate the help!

agree with fredgrower. Wow, nice price. Looks like a 1960's or 70s perhaps tabriz although field motif is based of older antique kashan rugs

Any idea how much it might be worth?

This is a Persian Qum with "Kurk" wool, perhaps around 40-50 years old. You have bought it at a bargain price, and I think you should be able to get 400-450 for it if you find a private buyer. If I were you, I would not sell it. I recommend you have it cleaned, find a good spot, and use it as a hanging on the wall. Rugs with a "One-way" pattern make beautiful wall hangings. Good luck.

Thank you so much for all your help. I think I'll take your advice and hang it.
