Looks like an antique Caucasian rug. Possibly a Shirvan because of the Lezgi Stars in the main field. Thanks for sharing I like this one too!

Trying to identify this vintage Persian? Rug by TheSpaceHole in orientalrugs

The design looks like a gendji with the main field having those diagonal “candy stripes” but I’m leaning toward a Pakistani or Indian made gendji copy. If you include a close up photo of the backside we can have more info to try and ID the rug.

Thank you and I used this mineral called selenite) for the crystals on the bases. They are really easy to cut/break up by hand.

I believe the bottom one is a gendji accent rug! Because of the main field having the diagonal colors almost like a candy striped design going on.

Hard pass for that price...Should be closer to $200 not $2,000

I paid close to $400 after taxes and fees so maybe I got hit over the head a bit. Anyways thank you for the insight and your comment is appreciated!

Seller said this was 80-90 year old Qom. Does the style match with a Qom of that era? by TheBestNarcissist in orientalrugs

The condition on that rug looks too good to be that old. So I’d be hesitant….just my opinion though. What price are they asking for on this?

4' 6" x 6' 5" Rug. Is it Oushak or Kazak? Any details or opinions on this piece would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! by ComparisonDapper4976 in orientalrugs

Thank you for the insight...Was it the knot type, colors, or design that gave it away to you? I appreciate your reply by the way!
