Thanks and I will try posting my pics again later.,,
A picture of the rug is my profile photo. Thanks...R.
If it's American-made, it's probably machine-made, unless it is an import. And it's then probably an Indo-Persian, handknotted rug. It's difficult to tell, because the photo on your profile is so small. I would have to see a close-up of the face and back of the rug, as well as a close-up of both sides of the fringe to determine whether is is handknotted. If so, depending on its condition, it could be worth anywhere from $1,000-2,000. If it's Persian, and older rather than newer, and in good condition, it could be worth quite a bit more. It is definitely the Bijar design. "KRC" might stand for KRC Textiles, a rug importer, out of CA. You might want to give them a call to find out more about the rug: 650-949-2021. I hope you do and report back with the information you've gathered. I would love to know more about it!
