I picked it up today from and auction house and took it straight to a professional cleaner who is also going to fix the fringe.

He said it is wool on a cotton foundation and he said the pattern is Turkmen. He said there are 3-4 repairs, some at least 30 years old.

He suggested to remove the part in the centre that is damaged and rejoin it, but I’m not sure if I should do that? I’d appreciate some advice on that, please.

It was simply sold as “mixed pile rug” with no other information.

Pics 3 & 4 are the back.
