I recently bought this rug from a lady who said it was inherited from her mother and was at least 50 years old. Anyone have a clue what it might be? A little bit of research led me to believe the pattern was of Turkmen origin. File Attachment(s): blueswedeshoes attached the following image(s):

I'd be happy to provide more (and better lit) pictures if there are any specific shots that might help identify the carpet.

When trying to find a rug with similar border pattern and medallions i stumbled upon this site: http://www.davidrehunt.c...okharaMauriTurkmen.html
The style seems very similar, no?

Not quite close enough. There are thousands if not hundreds of thousands of this style in existence. Even two rugs woven side-by-side under the same roof would have to be compared on a very individual basis.
