My good friend Billy Davis told me about this site. Anyone remember him ? Nicest man ever. I would like to know about this rug I have. I would like to know the age, area of origin etc.
    thank you all

    Greetings, Lisa! Shout out to Billy!

    A question for you on the rug. Even with the larger size images I cannot really tell for sure whether either side has tufts. Can you comment on that question?

    @Bakersgma I believe this image shows both sides............with the tufting on the top half......IF I'm correct!!!

    He is doing fine, he is not selling as much anymore, he’s started up a handyman business, doing repairs, remodeling and painting homes for mostly senior citizens ! He is keeping real busy lately, he seems happier and making a decent living !!

    I hope someone will know your rug. I had to pack mine up some years ago when wool moths moved into my house. I was not good at identifying them, many acquired at auctions etc. I do like patterns that lean toward geometric as yours does and would start by looking at Turkish rugs while waiting for knowledgeable folks to show up.

    I do not see where you mentioned the size of the rug. That would probably affect the value if it can be assessed.

    Please give Billy our best wishes! You really made my day with the news he's doing so well!
