This user filled in this information for appraisal. The carpet is probably not vegetable dyes. If knot count is correct, it most likely is at the lower end of the appraisal spectrum. Here is a good revision to their appraisal In the sellers defense, the color count looks a little low at the claimed 5-6 colors. I also don't doubt this to be something which sold for $5500 at retail
HERE IS A LINK TO THE ACTUAL RUG

rightey-o. this thing probably at the way low end of knot count as listed. this people sometime they count yarn ply as knots too --- remember. maybe someone should contact to clear up. it makes the tool look like a tool! lol say the rug is actually 2 ply yarn 14 vertical and 14 horizontal knots an inch. Then someone comes along and does incorrect count of yarn ply going vertical at 28 instead of seeing it's a two ply yarn at only 14 knots. this makes the kpsi 392 (28x14) and then they think it's a single ply but only 196 if it's two ply. so go like this with an appraisal The difference between a spinning a ply and making a knot can make big money difference. knots take time, a spin only needs a spindle

Very good point. It could be around 200 kpsi, so hard to tell by these photos they have though.
The other thing is people don't realize they have to account for the knot adjustment in the appraisal tool. If the rug is at the lower end of the knot count as selected, so will the appraisal. Although Tabriz, you could be right about the double count on the vertical warp. These Pakistani rugs are made in the 14x14 quality.
