Today I tbought my first persian (at least I hope) rug. It's a wedding gift for my brother that a few people pitched in on which means if it's a dud I didn't spend all that much and if it's not real the rug will be my brother's, not mine. :)

I read everything I could on this site about buying rugs so I'm hoping I did OK. Also after reading everything I could about Iranian rugs I'd guess it's a Viss carpet.

It's about 7x10' and supposedly a semi-antique Iranian handmade rug. I poured over the rug and couldn't find any condition issues. I paid $280.

Any thoughts on type/age/value? Give it to me straight.

There is nothing to give it straight to you. Looks like a Viss. From about 1970 possibly. The price is fair and i hope your brother will like it.
But it is not a Saruk Viss. Looks more like a western edition with Viss pattern.

Hey Thanks Chris--glad to hear I did OK. It was a craigslist purchase so I was a little nervous. Like someone else said I've got a passion for rugs but little knowledge--a dangerous combination.

I'm sure my brother will enjoy it. The thought of shopping off his Target wedding registry made me shudder.
