Hi,

I've had this rug since around 1995, and have kept it in storage ever since. At the time, I was told that it was a Bakhtiar rug, from the 1930s. Can anyone make out something more precise, in terms of origin, age, and value? I don't have the room to keep it anymore, and would like to put it up for sale. Thanks in advance for any help or clues.

There are some bald spots where the pile is missing, but not worn. Moths, probably?

It is a pretty rug but it is not a Bakhtiar. I think its a Saveh. Circa 1960. I assume it is about 180cm by 120cm. In its present condition it does not have much commercial value.

This is an old Persian Bakhtiar with obvious signs of moth damage which would not be very cheap to repair, and therefore not worth a whole lot of cash.

I actually measured it, and the 203x138 (cm) measurement turns out to be correct. 1960 Saveh, or older Bakhtiar? Would there be surefire signs to look for?

Saveh, 1960, lots of active moth in it. Junk.
