It is quite striking with the orange and bright blue. Size is about 4ft X 7ft. Rug seems to have some age to it, but not ancient. There is a bit of red or pink mixed in the wefts. Condition is pretty good, a few minor problems but nothing gross. My thoughts were that it might be some sort of Caucasian. Someone else suggested Turkish? Please let me know your opinions. If you need more pictures or other information, just let me know. Thanks, Bruce cuzinbruce attached the following image(s):

The older ones have a wool warp and more stylized Elems, but the same design-- a fine blackish brown net on as dark brownish orange design. See this link: http://www.azerbaijanrug...ucasian_kuba_gymyl17.htm

Probably the interior decorators wouldn't like the strong colors. Does anyone have a guess about the age? 1950's? 1970's? Newer? Older?
