Hi folks

Bought this relatively cheaply, the muted colours just seem to work so well.

Any thoughts as to area, age and value.

I am not too fussed about the wear, provided I can stabilise the worst areas.

Is it worth investing heavily or should I just get it cleaned?

many thanks

Steven

Thanks Nick, maybe early first half 20th century?

where would you put its value (just so I can prove my wife wrong as she didn't want me to buy it)

Can I ask, does the 1st dibs one have any significant characteristics over mine?

Thanks

C'mon folks

218 views and only one individual has an opinion............still looking for views on origin, age and whether it is worth spending on getting it repaired ?

yours, in hope

I think it is a Shirvan and circa 1940 and not as old as the one in 1stdibs. The auction value is probably between £500 to £800 and the replacement value which is what the 1stdibs value would be is £2000 to £2500.
