Agian I do not know is this helps or not but having established the script is Farsi and Persian this might help with a more pin point origin. Look at the work especially on the handle and then look at this traditional rug design form from a region and town of Veramin. Some similarity?

Picture from "The Atlas Of Rugs and Carpets" and one I have.
