I got some feedback that this rug was 1910. It measures 3'3" x 4'5". It has selvedge issues an needs a repair to the lower right corner..loss of selvedge and some minimal pile loss. I found an example of it in a book..6 sided mirab. It has kilm at the bottom, not top. I HAVE seen similar ones online for about $1000. If that is its value, then I think I should get it repaired. CAN you tell me the repair should cost and it's age? Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. The colors are brighter than they appear in the photos. I retook these photos tonight in artificial light because my daytime photos were too big to upload. cartona attached the following image(s):

A new hand performed selvage may be anywhere from $100 to $400 on this depending on how convincing or authentic to the piece you want it. It does look like a good piece with nice colors but I think you should stay on the lower end of that. See what people offer - of course be very cautious of machine selvage, and also be cautious of pre-fabricated selvages sewn on by hand.

I would find a professional and have this rug restored if I were you.

Thank you RugPro and RugFirm. Based on your feedback, I will have it professionally restored. Can you tell me of its probable age (1910?) and value range after it is restored. And, is @$400 the top end of the restoration cost? Thanks for all your feedback. .
