Rich,

I don't think it's that new. Maybe as late as the early 60's but not more than that. It has some clear signs of wear on the selvage and is missing the awful purples and greens that we typically see in the rugs that started coming to the market around that time. And I haven't seen good quality ivory wool warps on new stuff, although that may just be a function of the limited set that I have observed.

But as we all know, anything is possible.

Regards
Chuck
