I would like to know more about this rug I bought quite a few years ago. As I remember, I bought it from Edelmann Galleries in NYC, probably 1980's. I must have liked it as I still have it. Size is about 54" X 94". It is a pile rug. Note the tan hair, or whatever in the foundation. I have always wondered what it is, goat hair? Condition is pretty good, probably needs a cleaning. Is this from Turkestan?
Thanks,
Bruce

Your rug is a Turkmen -- originally I thought Tekke, but looking at the back of the rug, the knots are NOT asymmetric-- so its not Tekke. Perhaps made in Afghanistan by Turkmen. It doe shave one of the Tekke borders as well as the Saryk borders.

Hi Cartona,
Thanks for the reply. Internet problems the last few days on my end. I will have to check the knots, I haven't done that. I don't remember where the auctioneer said it was from. Much better quality rug than anything I have previously identified as Afghanistan.
Thanks,
Bruce
