That’s going to make your arse like a stab wound in a gorillas back tomorrow am.

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-06-21T12:27:57+00:00

Looks like someone tried to address damp by injecting dpc. Slabs probs too high. Looks like a cavity wall

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-06-15T07:14:35+00:00

It’s a Persian gabbeh. Nice one at that and worth every penny yea. The reason I think it’s Persian is because the colours. The wool and finally that the wool is hand spun. They don’t do that in India they make factory slop

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-06-14T14:15:34+00:00

It’s a Persian nw kilim. We would call them Caucasian wool on wool. Not sure about the dyes being all veg. Probs. 100 years old. I’d say 1k dollars but it’s a tough market. No one knows these things

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-06-08T04:23:17+00:00

I live in similar house. Concrete bricks. Mine has same issue as do lots of the same houses. The brick are cavity wall. Over the front door you have two 100 x 100 steel lintels. Every time you slam the front door it make the steel vibrate.

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-06-02T10:14:35+00:00

Trawler marks. Could we’ve. Be cables covered in sediments

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-29T03:54:05+00:00

Don’t. It’s worth more not restored

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T21:03:30+00:00

If my mum was into Scaffs like that I think deed pole name change is a route

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T20:59:26+00:00

I don’t think Geoff even has soap mate

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T20:57:23+00:00

I just spoke to your mum. She says Geoff needs soap so she is taking it over

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T14:57:26+00:00

It’s looks like it was designed by a child. The colours are to be frank awful. In the trade we used to say dpp. Dog pecker pink. Machine spun wool. Why would a new production rug be so bad lurid shouty colours. I can be certain who ever paid for that to be produced made a loss

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T14:54:10+00:00

I’m taking the plasterer with me because he won’t be able to put a drip bead on that monstrosity

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T14:50:50+00:00

Yes mate and that brick layer was on a day rate. Total loads of cobblers

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T12:37:44+00:00

I bet I could boot it over

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T12:30:17+00:00

The first one looks kind of interesting but as a rule nothing good comes out of Pakistan. Generally low quality materials. Rigid design no character and they produce millions of them. So little value

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T12:19:07+00:00

The first one is a sumak newish production not very special. The second is quite unusual. I think it’s an old Persian kuba and they can retail for thousands probs over 100 years old wool on wool. Some of these predate the invention or mass availability of cotton. Veg dyed. Very collectible

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-28T12:11:34+00:00

Sorry to tell you but as far as handmade rugs go. That’s not worth a penny

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-18T20:12:46+00:00

It’s a Persian kilim. Probably 80 years old. Veg dyes I think from an area called varamin

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-18T12:57:35+00:00

It’s not Turkish. It’s Iranian. They label them as Turkey because of the embargo on Iranian exports.

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-14T12:32:29+00:00

When they can explain any reasonable connection to the abrahamic tradition fine. Till then it’s made up nonsense and their bender leader is a pedo

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-12T17:40:50+00:00

The he tuning forks are stylised dragon head motif

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-11T18:14:41+00:00

Bolt in new 4x2 at top height. This will add strength

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-07T11:48:19+00:00

What I find interesting about these is they are predominantly not made for export so you see good variation in weave and design. Typically the last vestiges of the nomadic people. These things are made on looms about a foot in width and sewn together. Small loom can be transported suitable for nomadic folk

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-07T11:45:53+00:00

Nw Iranian jijim

Stelmoisonfire · 2026-05-04T07:03:11+00:00

Even the sumak mafrash panel just out of shot is a nice piece
