I know weavings from this area might not be your expertese, but can anyone help me with age and origin of these pieces? A friend of the family said that they were greek. Is there any interest for items like these. There are lots of pictures.


First are three pieces with the same pattern. One is 27" x 80" long and the other 2 are 27" x 39". The shorter ones have a rolled edge on one side.

Next are these two with the same pattern. The small one is 28" x 84" the larger one is 55" x 84" and seems to just be two panels like the small one seamed together.

Welcome to the forum!

Wow, this is outside of my expertise... The fringe is very nice, it appears very delicate. My inclination is to call it a Turkish weave, but really I am so unfamiliar with these Kilims I can't say.

I think your best bet would be to run this by the people in the TurkoTek Forum if no one here responds: http://www.turkotek.com/VB37/index.php

Wish I could help more Anxious maybe someone else here will jump in and know what it may be.

If you find out a definitive answer, please keep us posted!

Those are good, classic looking flatweaves. Looking at them I was amazed how similar they look to some Navaho (American Indian) and other NA woven textiles I have. They do the same kind of fringe on many pieces.
