This is one of several rugs I've inherited. I wish to sell it (and the others), but need help identifying and pricing. I have three of these small rugs, two larger rugs and one very worn (very long) runner.

This particular rug is roughly 26" x 33". It has much wear, especially in the center, with other worn areas scattered here and there. The fringe is obviously very worn, as well. The wool feels coarse, but smooth. You will notice from the photos, that on the back side there are two cloth tags attached with staples, as well as "909" sewn with rose colored thread.

I would appreciate any feedback. :-)

I read your description and thought this is going to be a worthless piece. I was surprised to see the images. From the front it certainly looks like a Farahan but the weave and the back tells another story. I have a feeling its a Heriz. In any event considering the size and the condition I think it is worth about $100.

I think this is farahan. so long as it is supple, it will be worth good money.

Thank you all for your ideas of this rug. I will be posting another rug, soon.

What a great forum. This is fun.

Sincerely,
