So what might this be?

Below is a rug described as mid-19th, all natural dyes, all wool, size 3'8" x 5'7".

Is this Luri too?

Dunno

Danny,

My first impression is no, it is not Luri. The size seems to be too square.
My second impression is also not Luri. The rosette border looks more Kurdish.
There are a number of Jaf Kurd bags in a previous Turkotek salon with this same/similar border:

The main border looks almost Caucasian. The warps seem to be white, rather than dark, although I can't tell from the one photograph.
Perhaps if I could get to know it a little better.......

Can't find it

Hi Patrick, thanks for your input. This rug is hidden away in a closet somewhere and I can't find it. Sorry I can't give more details on the materials or structure. I was intrigued by the colors in this rug, particularly those in the border.

Thanks for trying.

Best wishes
Danny
