Senneh carpet, 58 x 97 in. wool on cotton (20012)
This is a sample of my tribal rug collection. I continue to work on better describing and identifying them. Tribal rugs are a challenge to positively identify as the patterns tend to bleed over between tribes. So the construction, materials and patterns all have to be considered along with the source as well as it may be known.

unusual Kashan tribal rug (1156)
Kashan carpet. Tribal with a beautiful arbrash. No fading, some wear spots but nothing severe (see pics) 5x6 ft. Kashan is a factory town and most carpets from this area are very fine quality with no color variation. This rug was not made in one of the factories, hence "tribal". Very high quality and beautiful piece. Unusual. 1st half of the 20th century.
