    Got this rug which I'm researching but need second opinions. I think it's a Turkish tribal kilim but not sure about the date. Am I right?

    It has some condition issues but I only bought it because it looks like it has some age to it and because of the large size. It's around 12.5x7.5ft - 3.8X2.3m. Did I do a good buy for £20? :)

    Simple answer to the kilim question is No. What exactly it is will require closer pictures, both front and back, as well as that red fringe (a very suspicious feature) and the side binding.

    Since your pictures do not enlarge and there is no shot showing it in full and flat, we can't see the complete design nor the condition.

    Thank you @Bakersgm. Good thing I came here. I really thought it was a Kilim. What could it be than?

    Sorry about the pics. It doesnt let me upload higher resolution pictures with my mobile. I have upluaded the pics and other ones of the red fringe and the side binding. Please see the two links below.

    Strange If just noticed this. The fringes are only on one side and the other side is red and has no fringes.

    I'm sorry, Benny, but I do not click on Photobucket links. Too many problems with such links in the past.
