Hi,
This is a kilim that I purchased at a house sale some years ago. The gentleman told me it was Navajo, American Indian. He was a little startled when I said "No, it's not!". My guess was that it is a Shirvan Kilim. Am I right??? Any thoughts about age? Value? Condition is pretty good, it needs a bit of attention at the sides and ends but nothing gross is wrong with it. Size is about 59" X 104". My guess about the age is 1900-1925, but I am not certain about that. I like it, which is probably why I still have it. In any case, your opinions are always appreciated.
Bruce

Hi,
Could be an old Sennah. Colors remind me of an told Shirvan, but some of the design motifs remind me of a Sennah. ..probably early 20th Century. Kilims are Nick's speciality. ..I wonder what Nick thinks.
