Hello, this item is a large hand-knotted Persian wool carpet measuring approximately 8 by 10.5 feet, excluding the fringe. The woven label reads “Basiran Rugs, Genuine Oriental Rugs, Hand Made in Persia,” identifying it as a commercial Persian export carpet distributed under the Basiran name. Other documented Basiran-labelled rugs also carry the wording “Hand Made in Persia,” supporting the Iranian origin indicated by this label. The carpet has a pale cream central field framed by an elaborate floral border in muted turquoise, blue, rose, tan, and green. Its curving floral ornament and open central composition relate broadly to Kerman-style Persian carpets, although the photographs do not establish a specific weaving centre. The regular hand-knotted structure, wool pile, and cotton foundation suggest a mid-20th-century furnishing carpet rather than an early antique example.

The carpet is in fair condition and requires professional cleaning. It shows extensive fading and uneven colour loss, particularly across the central field, together with general pile wear, surface soiling, spotting, discoloured end coverings, and dark staining near the fringes. The fringes are tangled, shortened, and worn, while the wide fabric strips sewn across both ends appear to be later reinforcements or alterations rather than part of the original construction. These condition issues substantially reduce the resale value despite the carpet’s large size and genuine Persian manufacture. The Basiran label supports commercial provenance, but it does not identify a notable workshop or confer the value associated with signed, finely woven, or securely attributed Persian carpets. Based on its dimensions, age, condition, decorative quality, and current secondary-market demand, the fair market value is $300–$700 USD.
