This rug is up for sale at tomorrow's estate sale. This is the only picture I have, and I apologize fornot having the requred pictures.

I know nothing about the rug except it is listed as an antique bokhara for a maximum of $200. I have become a fan of Turkoman especially Tekke rugs, and is this a rug that would be good to add to my"collection". What made me think it could be old? The black lines through the tekke gul and the Gurbaghe guls although I realize the gurbaghe is common. Because the borders can't be seen it is probably too much to ask for even a "good guess".

My rug addiction has gone too far so the only way I should get this rug is that it's simply too good to pass up.


Do the guls reflect any specific time period, and is it too good to pass up? First of course is this one high resolution picture enugh to say anything.

Hi.
Do not buy without any other informations. First this rug looks like machine made. The colors are flat and i cannot see any point to say its an old and authentic one.

From what I see on this picture it is a very low grade pakistan Karachi with Bokhara design. Made around 1970 - 80.

Thanks to the both of you. and that is why I asked. I knw myself and I would have looked at it and as an internal optimist, other wise known as a sucker, would have made an impulse deal saying $200 isn't much. KAD I' m going to put a rug on that you have already commented one, but I have a question as far as degree of quality.
