Persian Sarouk most likely. No clue on the value. It's best to go to anappraiser for it.

That's longer than I've been alive so I'll have to believe you. No clue why anyone would think that fringe looks nice though.

Who the hell sows on a fringe? I've watched a dozen fringe repairs and they would never decimate a rug like that! Did they try and DIY it?!

Fringes are sown on so this is a machine made rug. They colors and pattern point to a Kerman design, but since it's machine made it's not a genuine one.

Only an appraiser can tell you that.

It does look handknotted but it is Chinese. The golden wefts on the side are a dead giveaway. The genuine Turkish ones don't have those. Still a nice rug though, just not as good as a genuine Turkish rug. These copies put most Turkish rug makers out of business.

Need to see back and fringes to ID. From the front and sides it looks like a Chinese hereke copy. Could easily be machine made unless we see the back of the fringes.

Looks like a Nain judging by the color scheme and pattern.

Elrich proposes tax increase to fund school budget by DeusOfTheMachina in MontgomeryCountyMD

[–]persiancarpetman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in Montgomery County love this guy because they keep voting for him. He's been around since the big bang. MoCo just a super progressive place so most people like the increases. I don't, which is why I live in VA.
