Dear Michael and you all,
This rug has a clear Kurdish pedigree and I think the clue in attribution is the zig zag border as well as the colours and peculiarly the tomato red.
Most of the rugs I have seen with this zig zag border were labeled Khurassan Kurds or sometimes Qazvin where there is a Kurdidh enclave.
The khorassan attribution is reinforced by the fact that the same borders were used by their Baluch neighboors.
Cordially
Daniel
