[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 4514753, member: 6444"]Six meters long is a huge carpet. Bought for a car??? All we can see in these pics is the outside edges at a few places. If you want to identify the design, you need to unroll it and take a pic of the overall design. Until then, we only know it is some type of Persian floral design. Probably not older than about 70 years, I would have guessed a bit newer than that. History of design if different than where it was made.

Good question komokwa- where was it bought?[/QUOTE]
