This rug I bought today from an online auction for $200 and got the little Sarough as a gift 'cause the fringes on the sides are beaten up ( the photos are from the auction and the damaged fringes haven't been photographed). The Flor seems overall intact . The seller labeled it as an Afghan Bokkhara but I think is more likely a Tekke Turkmen from the 70's 80's. What are your thoughts? I can already say that I overpaid it.

I got this Sarough rug for free 'cause I bought another rug ( turkmen tekke)while viewing it on the spot has issues (damaged fringes).
My question is does this rug have likely an inactive moth damage or should I worry that this rug has still living moths that would also affect my other Persian rugs where are stored together?
Thank you.
Bought this I suppose Lilian? rug for cheap. It has some issues: Flor two spots around 8x8 inches weared out, also Flor different reds one site orange other more red (could be abrash), fake fringes attached. Is it worth to get the rug professionally cleaned and maybe also do some minor repairs like reweave the weared flor? How old you think this rug is and it's a Lilian or another tribal persian rug? Thanks
Hi all
I bought this rug recently.
The rug seems pretty in good condition with no pile issues or damaged fringes. The blue wefts indicate an earlier American sarough. Could it also be a man Hester kashans or sarough Mohaijeran?
What you think it's worth and how old, which type of persian rug?Appreciate your opinio
