Hi David,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.

Nourison has historically offered a broad range of rugs — from budget-friendly, machine‑made rugs to higher-end wool or mixed-fiber rugs. That makes it accessible whether you’re decorating a casual space or looking for something more refined. For many buyers, Nourison rugs hit a “sweet spot”: they’re more durable and better-made than the cheapest rugs, yet much more affordable than luxury hand-knotted or bespoke artisan rugs.

I can't find anywhere if Nourison gave this particular pattern a name but it is similar in style to Mahal rugs made in India that had large floral motifs on cream grounds, within a jewel-toned primary border.

Most Nourison rugs of this size sell at auction for between $500 and $700, though private sellers (including those on Ebay and Etsy) may ask (signficantly higher) prices at auction

Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
