Age: late 1800s , perhaps 1860s - 1890s. Late 19th century rugs reflected the Victorian love of vivid color, sometime garish, and large scale designs. Large floral sprays were also very popular during this time.
Condition: Excellent for age. There are no frayed edges. The backing fabric is starting to come off (see photos). There is one spot where there is a pulled thread. There may be 1 or two more, but as you can see, very minor problem on this gorgeous rug.
