Quarters of a century
Quarters of a century are the ranges we give for age, because most rugs carry no date. The first quarter of the 20th century is 1900 to 1925, the second 1925 to 1950, the third 1950 to 1975 and the fourth 1975 to 2000. Where the evidence allows a closer range, such as c. 1960s to 70s, the listing says so. These are approximate dating ranges, so their boundary years overlap.
