Default Which one?

Hi Guys, happy Christmas and new year to you all. I have a request to ask of you. My Uncle who recently turned 94 and is reaching the end of an interesting and illustrious life used to collect carpets and rugs in his younger years. In his early 20s he dropped out of college in Ireland to travel and ended up visiting Iran, Iraq, Russia and many of the Stans in the 1950s. He took a particular interest to Caucasian rugs and carpets and bought some home and over the years added to his collection. I have been visiting him every week for the last number of months to keep him company and he and his wife have offered me a rug from his collection as a thank you gift. I took some quick photos of the ones I liked so ask you to pick which one would be your preference and why. One is wall hanging and in very good condition, the other two have conditions issues. I have to admit my phone camera (good as it is) did not do the color vibrancies any justice. Apologies for the lack of images, I just didn't feel that comfortable taking photos of their personal belongings but they insisted. I'd be very interested to hear your comments.

PS: I have my preference just based on visual ascetics and no more.

First one is more like a Kelley, my guess is about 11 ft X 3.5 ft...Turkish??


Second is wall hanging so in very good condition, probably about 7ft X 3 ft


Third is smaller probably 5 ft X 2.5 ft
