Hello:
This is my first time to this forum and it really looks interesting so I'm hoping you can help me with identifying this rug! I found the rug, today, at a sale and just bought it...I don't know why but I really wanted it. Now, I can't figure out who made it?; where, or when, it was made?; or why? It appears to have elements of an Anatolian Kilim but it is unusual in its design and colors, some of which are very pastel. The tassels are also interesting; on each of the four corners they are twisted double thick. The rug is really dirty but I figure once I clean it up it will look great as a wall hanging!
The overall size is about 42" x 78"
Any help would be much appreciated.
(3/22/2011: I've added some new photos; perhaps making the rug easier to identify.)
-3/24/2011: Okay, I don't know if this will help but this photo shows a close-up to show the thread count, (with a tape measure for reference). I also weighed the piece; it's about 7 pounds. I hope someone knows something about flat-weave rugs because I'm lost.
