Hello!
I recently bought these 2 rugs at a kind of estate sale. I got them for what I thought was a good deal, too. The first is 2'9" x 4'5". I think it's a turkman or similar. From the web research I've done, it looks like it may be a tekke chuval with an aina(sp) gul. But I really have no clue. It has a high knot count-500 kpsi if I'm counting correctly. I haven't done a burn test but it's very soft.
The second is so beautiful and we are in the process of hanging it! :-D It is a compartmental motif rug that at least has silk highlights and a purple weft. It is 4'3" x 6'6" panel rug. I've seen people selling rugs similar to this one on eBay under the Bakhtiari name. But my limited Internet knowledge has me guessing. I've been checking out some books from the library too but these rugs may be too new.
I believe these are now our finest rugs we have in our collection!! And I LOVE the pretty purple weft! Any help would be so appreciated!!!! Thanks rugrag community!!
Pictures coming in a few......
