<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lvetterli, post: 10319781, member: 130&quot;]Persian rugs were and are made of both silk and wool. Kashan, Qum, there&#039;s a whole slew of types. The design tells what region and/or style and I never learned enough to recognize them. Hubs bought us a few at sales many years ago, 1 is at my bedside still.&nbsp; Persian rugs have been made for centuries. Silk rugs are thinner and more dense than wool. Since the fringe is not added on I would say it is not a modern, machine-made piece but that&#039;s just my guess. I do know that they were sometimes made with both silk and wool. There are online resources that will help identify where it was made and what the quality is. The wear at the edges will bring the value down but there doesn&#039;t appear to be a lot of wear and no stains to the bulk of it so you might have a winner! Good luck with it! </p><p><br /></p><p>Linda[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
