    Hard to see exactly what you have there, first one looks like it could be machine loomed, photos need to be more close up ...Second one looks like a good Persian rug and handmade, but again with your photos, just a guess.

    I agree with Blooey on the first one. We need pictures of the underside of the second.

    Oh dear. Hate to burst your bubble but it's not handknotted - machine made.

    It may have been done in a western interpretation of a Persian design - but it's fairly new and unless there's tag I can't really say where it was made. (NOTE - It cannot have been made in "Persia" which area is now the country of Iran. A lot of the machine made rugs were/are made in Pakistan and India.) Yes, people do buy used machine made rugs, but unless they were made by a "big name maker" they don't go for anything like the "real thing."

    Check out your local Craigslist or Offerup or even eBay to see if there's even a market in your area (Shipping would be a lot I suspect.)

    Second one looks to be Indian, Pakistani or Afghan.
