Great little rug that's meant for hanging. It is very dirty, particularly on the back, but it has terrific colors and an old world design. Can you help me identify it and it's age??? It measures 42.25" by 31". It is wool on wool, midnight blue background, low even pile, very supple,beautiful vegetable colors..it also has a ribbed back....Ardabil???...estate sale $80 find.

Nick,
Thanks for that identification. I will try to learn more about Afshari's.

I agree with Nick. I think it is a very pretty Afshar and even possibly 1900. There appears to be a bit of loss at one end but the other end has a very pretty Kilim finish which looks fabulous. Very good piece
