Hello All, Need help identifying my rugs. Have two close to identical 12'-7" x 13'-8" rugs which I believe are +75 years of age. They were in an historical home I purchased years ago. Any help in type and approximate value would be greatly appreciated. I think they are hand-woven but I am a total novice at all of this. Thank you in advance Richard deer7360 attached the following image(s):

I think these are Karastan. In my opinion this is one of the better designs they made.

Thank You again Rugpro
You were spot on! The "Karastan is all I Needed to find it. it is AMERICAN KARASTAN ISPAHAN #766.
Now I wish I could age it. The Tag on the one is 4366 and that's all I have. These things weigh a ton and guessing about 250 lbs each.
I am moving and would be great to find a new home for these twins.
really not sure what the value would be though.
Thank you so much for getting me this far!
Richard
