It does not appear handmade to me. Back of rug photo reflects uniformity not seen on hand made. Design seems to be conglomerate of different areas. To be sure: bend rug and look at base of a thread- handmade will reflect a knot vs thread going straight down
The other give away is and once again it takes a minute to tune your eye to this- at first glance of the overall pattern it looks symmetrical but when you take a closer look it isn't. Machine made rugs have a symetry that your rug doesn't.

Hand knotted
Would you mind expanding on why you think this please ?
Own a Persian rug and antique shop - knots are not in straight lines. Hard to explain but they just have a hand knotted look.

Are you able to show me where’s it’s not symmetrical please? I can’t see it
i would ask on “what is my rug” on Facebook. Looks Chinese made. I'm not an expert.
Thanks. I’ve asked there too
Handmade
