Well obviously it replicates a Chinese design.  If you can use google translate it would tell you it's 100% wool ;)

Can't see the backing but has it been made on a Wilton loom or is it tufted?  Looks a bit wrinkly like a piece of Wilton would if not stretched out properly, with only longitudinal flexibility whilst remaining flat laterally as a Wilton would.

Or the floor is uneven, not sure if that's longitudinally or laterally, mind  ;D

Hard to belief there would have been a label of that format over 100 years ago.

It's worth cleaning & protecting, presuming you think it'll clean up OK (can't see any detail from the picture).  No significant resale value in the general market.  I'd pitch it at £3/ft² and take it from there (looks either 10x8 or 12x9?)

How much would you pay for a similar sized offcut of Wilton carpet 25 years old? :)

I dont really clean alot of rugs esp woven back just feel they are to dangerous

guy asked me to clean it and asked how much I thought it was worth

just thought I would ask for a more experienced opinion
