My First Rug...or is it a Carpet??

This beauty is the first carpet I bought shortly after I arrived in Muscat, Oman. It is 9'x12' and is 100% wool knotted on cotton. It is from the Kashan province, Iran and is so much prettier than the picture shows.  Its age is between 30-40 years.  I love the red, black and blues in this carpet.  What is the difference between a "rug" and a "carpet?"  Anything larger than 6.5 feet is a carpet. Anything smaller is considered a rug.  Now you know!
