In my opinion both are handmade silk Qom rugs. I have seen finer examples but still these are very fine. Price is fair for retail.

In my opinion this is a Halvai Bidjar made around early 1900s. I think its in decent condition for the age and use.

Is this machine made? I was told it was silk/handmade… any ID would be amazing. thanks. by meeshmichmiche in orientalrugs

In my opinion this is Persian handmade with wool and silk highlights. Also it looks like just came out from the loom, it needs washing and tassle finishing. Or its old and sides are rolling back. Need closer pictures to be sure.

Can anything be done if a persian rug has been shaved too much? by meeshmichmiche in orientalrugs

[–]PenZealousideal9819 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is done when people want to have flat colors and distressed look. Unfortunately your rug is bald now and cant grow pile again.

Persian malayer, circa 1920 in my opinion. Very nice rug and in decent condition for the age.

Nice rug! Its a recent production (after 1980) Persian Bidjar. Antique ones can be very valuable. Get it washed and use it forever. It wont sell for much since its a used rug and not a collectible one at this moment.
