It is old; was in a poor state but I have added repairs and those too were not indeed much to bring the rug back in mint condition. as you have noticed there is considerable wear on the rug; I would say the work done on this rug was not at par with the type work the carpet weavers I hire to repair my rugs; I do remember not investing much on the rug repair; as i thought this wasnt a very special piece but loved the colours and went ahead with the minimum restoration; just to make it look presentable. I am not sure the fringe is original. I will post more detailed pics if those can help you judge what type of rug this is. thank you.
