Hi, I have two rugs that I would like to figure out anything I can about them.

One is made in Ethiopia. The other I believe is Persian.

If anyone could fill me in on any details I would appreciate it.

Thanks
Brian

They both look interesting + I'm sure the experts here will give you good information. The Ethiopian rug us very interesting to me because the red motif looks Celtic! Combined with the attribution in English, I wonder about the input of Irish missionaries. Even the central medallion looks a little Celtic to me.

The Persian rug appears to be a Hamadan style rug from the village of Hosseinabad, maybe circa 1960s. These types of rugs are really good for heavy traffic.
