  • Help identify this Anatolian Prayer Kilim?

    Hi everyone,

    I am new here : -)

    I would really like to have you thoughts on this Anatolian Kilim prayer rug.

    The picture is the only one I have at the moment : - (

    Much appreciated

    There was discussion here in the archives about one very similar from 2006. It says it’s Eastern Anatolia from Erzurum.

              Hi Chuck,

              Thank you for having changed my profile name : -)

              Regarding the Balouch post I posted earlier that is closed, I wanted to inform you that I removed my listing on Rug Rabbit because to me its more important to learn about it than to sell it. My apologies for this, I am well informed now about the rules for this platform and this will not happen again in the future.

              Would it be possible to reopen my post? I really would love to get the members thoughts on this rug because I've been struggling to find conclusive information. I have removed my rug on the selling platform.

              I understand if you decide not to do so as this was an error on my part.

              Kind regards

            Hi Chuck,

            Thank you for the information. I can't seem to edit my profile name unfortunately, is there a way that you could make that change for me?

            Name: Bouaiachi Daoud

            Glad to be a part of The Turkotek family : -)

            Cheers
            Daoud

              Welcome Daoud.

              from the pic I can see the top of the border is missing the border and near the bottom of the pic the piece has a shifting in the weave. Hard to say why as there are many possibilities of how it happened. Nice piece and it looks to be wool on wool.

                Hi Joe,

                Thank you for your analysis. I agree with you that this picture is far from clear, unfortunately when I purchased it only that picture was available. I will receive the rug this week hopefully.

                I also see more than a few old repairs done as you pointed out. When I receive the rug I will take decent pictures and share them here so we can take a more detailed look.

                Much appreciated

                Kind regards
