I know very little about this rug, except that my parents bought it when they moved into a new home in 1988. I don’t know where they bought it or who made it.

Hello, this item is a large late 20th century Chinese-style decorative wool area rug, probably dating to the 1980s based on the family acquisition history. The rug measures approximately 9 ft x 12 ft and has a blue field with a central floral medallion, cream floral border, pastel green and beige accents, and carved raised pile details. The design is more consistent with Chinese export or Aubusson-inspired decorative rugs than with an antique Persian, Turkish, or Caucasian “Oriental” rug in the stricter collector sense.
The photographs show an attractive room-size rug with decorative value, but the secondary market for these late 20th century floral wool rugs is modest unless the rug has a known workshop, silk content, exceptional knot density, or documented high-end provenance. The pile appears generally present, though there is visible wear, light fading, and some fringe/edge wear, which affects resale value. Based on the size, decorative appeal, age, and visible condition, the fair market value is $250 - $600 USD.
