Saw this one on Craigslist in Saginaw, Michigan. It has a label that says: made in Iran, 50 cotton and 50 wool. Does the cotton refer to the foundation and the wool to the pile??? Never seen a label like this before. Since the Kazvins were set up to be made in the city of Hamadan according to Edwards' specifications: double wefted, symmetric knot, higher knot counts (>121), later used chemical dyes--- could this one be a Kazvin??? There are 2 pics-- front and back. Any ideas ..Thanks!!!???

I wouldn't take that label too seriously. I cannot recall Edwards saying that kazvin were set up to be made in the city of Hamedan.

Anyway, I believe this is a Sabsevar 1970s, Khorrasan province.

Agree with Sharafi&Co about the label and origin. Low grade Sabsevar rug with typical design and colors of the 1970's.

Thank you both Sharafi and KAD..it still amazes me how you guys (experts) can identify these rugs, their province, wool, age from just 2 pictures. I never saw the rug in person, but would not have been able to identify even then.
Thanks for responding.
