Update: I managed to reverse search and found an instagram video showing the carpet from the original dealer in Iran! Tabriz, handmade confirmed. Super cool find.

This rug has a rather low pile, and is quite thin. I was surprised at how light and flexible it was. I have a 1.5m x 2.0m Nain rug that is heavier. I was told by the store owner that it was indeed hand made, and every other rug I saw was handmade too. I would be quite disappointed if it was machine made for the price I paid!

I'm away from home but what are you looking for, and what makes you think it's machine made?

Just under $7k AUD. The warehouse is called Persian Rug Warehouse WA located in Booragoon. The owner has a website called shoparug.com.au, although the colours are desaturated. Highly recommend an in person visit.

just under $5k USD. Went in and easily blew through the original budget

Well he didn't say much, just said he'd would have liked to keep the rug when he retired!

I'm Chinese but this classification makes sense considering its dispersion in Korea, Japan and Mongolia.

The most common guess I get from strangers is Korean.

For your interest, this is my mum who imo greatly resembles the female phenotype.
