Hi all, just wanted to share some of my flea-market bargains. I read on another forum that it's not possible to collect on a budget but for me the fun is in scouring the flea markets and bootsales and occasionally coming up trumps
Here are just a few of my favourites, all of which cost £50 or under, I'll put what I think they are but would welcome any opinions.
First up is this 6' x 1'8" piece, I thought it was an Ersari tent bag face but an 'expert' told me it is a Tekke rug, I'd very much welcome another opinion on this.
Here's the back
Next a Turkman Torba (poss Yomud?)
A bit faded but beautiful workmanship
The next one is still a bit of a mystery to me, I've got some ideas but am not sure at all, it's condition would suggest it's a modern piece but I don't know where from.
From SW Persia, two bags and a bagface
A beautiful Qashqai
Kurdish Jaff
Not sure! My husband and I have been arguing about this one since we got it, the only thing we're confidant about is that it's South West! Any opinions gratefully recieved
Finally, my all time favourite (and the one I spent the £50 on!) Afghan, this has been shown elsewhere on the forum but I wanted to add it to this thread as an example of what can be bought on a budget.
There's plenty more where this lot came from but that's all for now - Thanks for looking
