Please email me directly with your questions kia@artofpersianrugs.com Antique Yamut Turkman. Please pay more attention to the border and the strips on top. i think it's a little unusual to see this type weaving with 4 strips. Main border is very well executed and the minor border looks like it has rows of "moth" design. Don't we all hate moths!!! The weaving structure is very very nice! As for age? I've seen this border design on pieces that were either made last month or are very old 1850'ish. i can assure you that this one wasn't made last month. Please tell me that i have something fairly nice and make and offer accordingly. please read my profile.
