This is my most recent purchase. I am not sure where it is from and hope someone on here can help. 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

I think it is a newer rug from the Kuba district --- in the Gymyl design. 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

Thank you for the link. I bought it because I liked it. I paid $250 so I should be OK. Probably the interior decorators wouldn't like the strong colors. Does anyone have a guess about the age? 1950's? 1970's? Newer? Older?
