<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 489360, member: 6444&quot;]Sorry, but I think some of the information about this rug may have gotten crossed. First, Caucasian rugs should have wool warp. It looks like a cotton and not wool warp on this rug- or at least that is how it looks to me from the pics provided. Second, this is very uniform and fixed pattern, which is not at all typical of older Caucasian rugs, but is typical of rugs handwoven in large factories such as one finds in China, Pakistan, India. Third, the pattern is unlike any Caucasian pattern I have ever seen (and I have a small collection of Caucasian rugs I&#039;ve collected over the years), and the small floral pattern is much more persian design to me, though not necessarily made in Iran. I think it may be substantially newer than you were told. Attached is a photo of what a turn of the century Karabagh rug should be and a link to more:</p><p><img src="http://files.thecobbs.com/a17_lot82_0-max.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.furniture.com/rugs/guide/oriental/caucasian/karabagh" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.furniture.com/rugs/guide/oriental/caucasian/karabagh" rel="nofollow">https://www.furniture.com/rugs/guide/oriental/caucasian/karabagh</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
