Small, antique rug with wear and tear
I was handed down this rug from an aunt who got it from her mom in law. She lived in the UK and Canada. Not sure where it was purchased or who made it.

A Persian rug. This carpet belongs to carpets of peoples and nomads of Iran, formerly Persia. This type of carpet is knotted by hand in smaller cities and towns according to the old tradition. Even nomads continue to tie Persian carpets outdoors. The carpets are knotted without a pattern and completely from the head. They are characterized by classic ornaments, which are arranged in straight and geometric patterns. Thanks to their cultural-traditional origin, these carpets have a unique character that embodies ancient Persia
This carpet is made of hand-sweave sheep's wool of the highest quality. Especially in Iran (former Persia), the wool of Afghanistan and Pakistan continues to be spun by hand before the knotting of the carpet begins. Wool has proven to be a natural and extremely resistant material over the centuries. Among other things, it has dirt-repellent and heat-insulating properties. At the same time, the wool is incomparably soft and has a natural shine.
Good condition
