Hi,
I have another estate find here: a long runner.
It's a bit dirty, but looks very old (to me).
The tassles on one side are in pretty good condition, the other side not so much and there is fraying on the sides.
I attached a detail of the pattern and the back and am hoping you know if this is a real Persian rug, or not?!
There are no markings on the back and I don't see any evidence of a label.............
Please help!
Thanks so much,
