I bought a carpet. I like it. The price was OK. It was sold by a very reputable auction house as an "antique Gendje" carpet. Well, I am pretty sure this is a rug from the Caucasus. I have a Shirvan and seen Kubas, and others. It looks old. But from what I have looked at, this is NOT a Gendje.
Anybody have a suggestion what it might be?

I got an answer
I wrote to Barry O´Conner (He has a carpet site called Spongobongo.com) and he was kind enough to answer almost immediately.
The rug is from around 1900. It is Caucasian (I was right). It probably is Genge/Gendje (I was wrong).
Question answered.
