help needed with antique Turkish Kilim rugs
« on: July 07, 2016, 10:21:49 am »
have two rugs which need identification.

These are probably Turkish Nomadic Tribal prayer Kilim rugs

Difficult for me to determine approx date and not many similar motifs and used colors out there.

Somebody maybe here already did some knowledge about kilim rugs??

They do look to be very old...  19th century or earlier or is it 20th century.??

Any help is welcome

Where did you get this item ??  From what I see I would guess that its a coverlet rather than a rug !!  Not as thick or heavy as a traditional rug would be !!  It is hand made and would be difficult to even guess at date made !!  Not much about the pattern that gives a clue !!  Would really need a hands on look by a professional !!

I see you've got the top one on E-Bay now.

Most of these Kilims are much more elaborate than yours. I did see one that looked similar; I think it was less than $100 U.S.

Good luck with it!
